“I belong to the generation which came after the restoration of independence, therefore I feel the need to contemplate the ideas of pacifism and peace. Rising nationalism and radicalism in today’s Europe makes one interpret the eternal ancient Greece texts as a worrisome warning. The main theme of play is the victim of war. I want to depict it through a collage of human tragedy, which analyses a wide variety of war topics: the absurdity of war, the sacrifice of a woman, violence against women, cruelty, the consequences of nationalism, the crisis of patriarchy, and the losses and traumas of war” says the director.
