Elena Penga – Angelos Papadimitriou

Narcissus, by Elena Penga

“A monologue for a male actor and twenty male volunteers” is how Elena Penga describes her latest work, a fresh take on the well-known myth of the young man who falls in love with his reflection, with fatal consequences.
 
In Narcissus, the multiplication of the image of the self is presented both as a question of existential order and as a sign of the times. Bound to an era in which developments in the technology of image production, processing, and reproduction has disturbed our relationship with the Ego, the contemporary man – and, by extension, contemporary Man – is brought face to face with his dead ends.
