Synopsis: adaptation of the Orestes/Electra myth about a brother and sister who avenge the murder of their father and become outcasts in their own city. Adapted and directed by puppet theatre artist Theodora Skipitares, it is inspired by Euripides and The Flies by Jean-Paul Sartre. The Exiles unfolds using video projections, masks and puppetryincluding five-foot Bunraku puppets strapped to the front of actors' bodies at the head, the chest, the waist, and the knees. Veiled actors speak lines from behind the puppet, much as an actor might have spoken lines from behind a large Greek mask in ancient Greek theatre.. nytheatre.com | ||||

Synopsis: Designed, directed and adapted by Skipitares, Medea is the latest in her series of plays based on Greek classics. Building on Euripides's iconic story of a spurned woman who kills her competition as well as her own children, Skipitares's Medea begins many years before: Medea is a child who lives at the edge of the Black Sea and has profound magical powers, falls in love with the handsome Jason, and helps him steal the Golden Fleece. The story moves forward in time to Corinth, where Medea is abandoned by Jason for the young daughter of the King. The production features puppets, created by Cecilia Schiller and Skipitares, in various styles: colored shadow puppets, small rod puppets, as well as realistic life-size figures operated by actors; along with the use of video and live music, and a chorus represented by gigantic heads worn on the bodies of female performers - press release | ||||
