TOURNÉ

A performer and creator at the intersection of dance, theatre and visual art, Euripides Laskarides returns to the Little Theatre of Ancient Epidaurus with a work showcasing overlooked sides of modern Greek identity, through the magical adventure of theatre.

His starting point is the world of summer travelling theatrical troupes: a microcosm of companionship and exhaustion, ambition, adoration, and, finally, survival, with the same recurring stories.

Bodies that are buried and exhumed, parts and identities that are always ambiguous, a brother or a lover; perhaps both.

Inside the ancient theatre, dedicated to Dionysus, old traces return as today’s fleeing shadows.

Under the same starry sky, the performers dig where others used to dig two thousand years ago.

The performance functions as a tender gaze towards the erratic stories we recite about our relationship with antiquity, and, at the same time, as a witty excavation on the creator’s personal mythology.

Through its piercing humour and a mood that ‘overturns’ comedy, TOURNÉ by the team OSMOSIS perceives theatre as an act of offering.

A tragicomedy balancing between devotion and self-sarcasm.
