Amor

Biography

The stage is a place of an auction where everything – the roles, the theatre accessories, the emotions, the memories, the parts of human body – is being sampled, costed and purchased. The prices are affected by the fluctuations of the stock market. The actors humorously portray contemporary life, presenting their interpretations of the extreme behavior of people who manipulate and are manipulated by authorities in the time of crisis. However, this corrupt world can be redeemed by the promise of Amor, which could become a driving force people need to reclaim their humanity.

Dimitris Tsatsoulis | Eleftherotypia
A performance in dialogue with the contemporary era and at the same time transcending it. [...] Amor is like a thunder before the lightning.
