As a result of a 4 month reading of the text
“Close relationships on gender sexuality and space”
by George Marnelakis,
the “group of Wednesday meetings” promoted a two day
presentation
of our work through performance and lectures.
The presentation included visual works of guest artists.
This took place in Empros Theater in february 2015
The book of Judith Butler on Antigone escorted my
personal insight on the discussion, resulting in a
10 minute performance
by actors Agelina Gerostathiand Dimitri Samir.
The performance challenged the transformation from the self
to the roles of Antigone and Kreon,
to finally end up with a reversion of the roles questioning
matters of authorityin gender, politics and ethics.
This transvertion gave an insight to the personality
of the acted persona diverting into the self and the other self,
equilibrating the opponent with the self..
A text widely discussed by philosophers and modern thinkers
examines the clashing of ideas in the dipole
man- woman, ethical law- state law, morality – politics
resulting in a crushing with the characters
impersonating their opponent.
The performance took into account the space of the theater,
bringing the argument in the now of the present,
aiming to circulate the audience and raise the question of
personalization of the actor to the self and impose
a greater question of what is ethics in an argument
where both is right, especially by the Anuil reading.

This aims at questioning
identity, alieneity and
belonging. In antiquity Greeks were
not only the ones who were born instate but all who had received Greek education
