The Dynamics of Metamorphosis

dir. Paweł Passini
 

The Dynamics of Metamorphosis is a performance research project that seeks to reconstruct the repertoire of ancient actor’s skills, particularly impersonation and transformation. In the light of our 10-year performance experience and from the perspective of working with source material, we see metamorphosis as a key concept for understanding the phenomenon of Greek theatre and its constitutive actor-chorus-spectator relationship.
