The Polish director
Krzysztof Warlikowski will be in Greece for the third time. With his new play he engages the concept of sacrifice through three female characters: Iphigenia, Alcestis and Apollonia Machczynska , a Polish woman who lost her life in her attempt to save twenty five Polish Jews during World War II.
In (A)pollonia the director himself becomes the author, creating a collage of texts, images, stage-set traditions and techniques, historical questions, faces and myths, of immense proportions. The subject of the Holocaust which permeates the entire play, is approached both from the angle of the victim and of the perpetrator. The performance is confessional in tone, and the complex oversize projections follow closely the action of the actors, with the operatic composition pivotal throughout.
Co-production with the Onasis Foundation Cultural Centre as well as
with the collaboration and support of the Embassy of Poland in Greece.
