"So, it looked like it was
Inside thick darkness
There sat Minoan
And the myth that he killed
With great strength
Music made him sad
And his eyes were sore."
          Christos Melides

 

Prompted by the Cypriot version of the myth of Ariadne, began a journey of exploring relations and archetypes – Theseus, Ariadne, Labyrinth, Minotaur.
The dramaturgy was based on songs from several traditions and poems of Cypriot writers: Elena Toumazi, Marios


Agathokleous and Christos Melides.
