      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.
