The Greek classics return to the theater in Syracuse after a year without performances.<\/p>\n
Built 2,500 years ago in southeastern Sicily, this monument will be the stage for three Greek tragedies, to revive the program that was canceled in 2020 because of Covid-19.<\/p>\n
From July 3 to August 21, its ancient stones will bring classics like Aeschylus\u2019 \u201cOresteia,\u201d Euripedes\u2019 \u201cThe Bacchae\u201d and Aristophanes\u2019 \u201cThe Clouds\u201d to life.<\/p>\n
DAVIDE LIVERMORE<\/strong> The chosen works are the same as those chosen 100 years ago for the theater\u2019s reopening following World War I and the Spanish flu epidemic. The Spanish company, \u201cLa Fura dels Baus,\u201d will lead with an avant-garde representation of Euripides\u2019 \u201cThe Bacchae.\u201d<\/p>\n CARLUS PADRISSA<\/strong> The theater will also host an interactive photography exhibition until 2022.

\nDirector of \u201cOresteia\u201d
\n\u201cNot to be a modernist, but simply to show how current, how alive, Greek theater is. To show how alive tragedy is, how well tragedy tells our story, our terrible human weakness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nDirector of \u201cThe Bacchae,\u201d La Fura dels Baus
\n\u201cWhat \u2018La Fura (dels Baus)\u2019 brings to the table is our experience of \u2018Deus ex machina,\u201d of flying. Human evolution isn\u2019t over. And it won\u2019t be over until man can fly and is a bit more intelligent but, at the same time, passionate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
