The Bacchae: a queer tragedy
“The artist, Elli Papakonstantinou has created a contemporary adaptation, which is a theatrical vortex, a performative and explosive, mixture of genres such as theater, opera, and Queer culture (…) With her impactful staging (…) this piece offers a powerful and exciting experience.”
