Ariadne The myth The thread MITOS Cyprus The space Today
Why myths? What is it about them that attracts us? How are they connected to our lives? The DROUGHT project is an exploration of the myth of Ariadne and Theseus, focusing on the current perception of the myth and its modern artistic expression. The performance also features four women from the Philippines who work and live in Cyprus as domestic workers. The DROUGHT project marks the fifth anniversary of MITOS and, in addition to this performance, it also involves a book publication and an art exhibition. The project preparation took place in Poland in spring 2012, with the Sztuka Nowa theatre company and the Grotowski Institute as partners..
