DIRECTOR’S NOTE
The Ancient Greek Drama (Tragedy, Comedy, Satyrical Drama) is entechno, eponymous drama – understandable by all. Every spectator interprets and comprehends the text and its representation according to their personal criteria, aesthetic and spiritually.The genetic material is in Chorus.Chorus exists and acts everywhere. We all are Chorus, with our body posture, voice, gaze and speech. Chorus that continuously lives through us. Because every era has their sovereign problems. Many of them diachronically. Among them the migration, the recourse, the exile.
