Nicosia Municipal Theatre
A devised theatre performance created by the Artistic Directors of SRSLYyours, Achim Wieland and Marios Ioannou. Α suitase full of wigs and colourful high heeled shoes lead the actor on an adventure, as he reflects upon the myth of Helen of Troy. The piece invites the negotiation of issues of identity as the performer navigates through imposed social roles, we all play, tightly bounded by our gender, social rank, appearance, family history, ethnicity or even fate. The play is the monologue of a stage-traveller on his bitter-sweet path, who is looking for a true representation of himself, as an actor looking for a role to hide into. A performance devoted to the individuals who are fated to see their distorted and disregarded reflection in every mirror.
