“If there is to be art, if there is to be any aesthetic doing and seeing, one physiological condition is indispensable: frenzy."

“I would like to write a Book which would drive men mad, which would be like an open door leading them where they would never have consented to go, in short, a door that opens onto reality.”

"I myself am an absolute abyss"
Artaud

The mission is to present important and complex stories in a way that is profoundly artistic, exciting and innovative. Improvisational, interactive and visually engaging performances take us on a personal and collective journey, and transforms the audience into empowered, inspired participants who shape and share the culture they live in, rather than simply receiving passively as atomised consumers.

We encourage connections with non-traditional theatre audiences through the internationalist, multimedia framework of the project, as a way of bringing people back to the essential experience of theatre as storytelling, sensation, ritual and transformation. 

We are also dedicated to the cultural exchange of ideas, to creating a community of artists and creators, and to offering opportunities for new ideas and creative movements.

We are committed to true diversity in casting and crew, to reflect the different cultures embodied in the myths and present in the world today, to give a voice to wider communities and encourage participation in theatre and the arts,

and to embed the value and presence of performers and crew from all backgrounds into the theatrical industry of Greece
