1 Press Contact: Sara Madden Marketing and Community Relations Manager x S. Broad St., Philadelphia, PA Admin. Phone: Box Office: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 2015 The Wilma Theater opens its 2015/16 season with Sophocles Antigone, directed by the renowned Artistic Director of Greece s Attis Theater TheodorosTerzopoulos An international, cross-cultural production with eight Philadelphia actors and three Attis actors. October 7-November 8, 2015 The Wilma Theater is honored to welcome back Attis Theater Artistic Director Theodoros Terzopoulos (AJAX the madness, co-presented with FringeArts in 2013), who will lead eight Philadelphia actors and three Attis actors in creating an original adaptation of Sophocles Antigone. This production, which Terzopoulos has adapted from an English translation by Marianne McDonald, merges a physically rigorous methodology with a classical text, and is performed in both English and ancient Greek by an international ensemble. A project initially inspired by a New Yorker essay about the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing, Antigone invites conversation around moral, religious, and political dilemmas regarding the unburied dead. The story of Antigone begins years after the events depicted in Oedipus. Oedipus sons, Polyneices and Eteocles, have just fought a war over who will rule Thebes. The battle is over, and both are dead. Their uncle, Creon, is the new king. He orders Eteocles buried with honors but decrees that Polyneices body should be left for the birds to devour. Antigone, the dead brothers sister, disobeys this order: she believes her duty to her brother is greater to her than her duty to her king. As Marianne McDonald, Sophocles translator and Professor of Theatre and Classics at the University of California, San Diego, describes, Sophocles is the playwright of heroism, and Antigone is the first female character in drama to be a hero in the full sense of the word. She is the first conscientious objector. Both Antigone and Creon mourn the loss of those they love: one defends the unwritten laws of the gods, and Creon the laws of the
2 state. Both are valid, but compromise is needed for a successful resolution. Antigone and Creon, as so many world leaders today, will not compromise. This is their tragedy on one hand and supposed triumph on the other. Antigone also marks the inauguration of the Wilma HotHouse, an artist-centric approach to project development and advanced actor training that will allow artists to dare and explore under the Wilma s auspices. HotHouse Company actors will participate in all stages of the creation of Wilma work, performing in mainstage productions, including Antigone; participating in workshops; and helping further to develop and refine the Wilma s performance aesthetic. Antigone begins on Wednesday, October 7, 2015; opens on Wednesday, October 14, 2015; and has been extended through Sunday, November 8, 2015 due to popular demand. Critics and members of the press are invited to attend Press Night on Wednesday, October 14, at 7:30pm. For ticket arrangements, contact Sara Madden at smadden@wilmatheater.org or x102. After The Wilma co-presented AJAX the madness with FringeArts in 2013, artistic directors Blanka Zizka and Theodoros Terzopoulos sought a way for The Wilma Theater and Attis Theatre to collaborate. They decided that the tragedy of Antigone, and the implications of its theme of unburied dead within modern political discourse, was an important piece to explore. This impulse to revisit timeless texts is a fundamental part of Terzopoulos technique: as Terzopoulos explained in an Attis Theater workshop in 2014, which Blanka Zizka attended, The most dangerous things all the material of theater we can find in the Greek tragedy. We have the lost traditions of our ancestors, the dissolved traditions of our fathers. There is violence in the art of theater, and through this work, this digging, we encounter an explosion of memory. Antigone explores these nuances of memory and memorial as part of Terzopoulos larger Unburied Bodies project, an international partnership between Attis Theatre and important theaters and creators from all over the world. The project was inaugurated at the Attis Theatre in Athens on May 30, 2015 with a four-hour event that featured 22 young poets, who presented poems that they had written especially on this subject. While the Wilma s Antigone was adapted from Marianne McDonald s English translation of the text, the production will use both English and ancient Greek. Regardless of where and in what language Terzopoulos directs tragedies, his choruses always speak in the original ancient Greek, due to the musicality of the verses, and also because of the exceptional relation between the vowels and the consonants. In this way, Terzopoulos uses his actors bodies to explore language from the inside out, capturing its essences through physical movement and interaction between performers. We go into this dark root of a scream; we will re-construct it, he explains. We don t want to re-live the pain of the
3 scream: it s not psychological, it s physiological, and we can use all these vowels to create melodies. How does someone lament? We can t lament if we stay in our brains. We have to give it up. We have to destroy these Berlin Walls. While Terzopoulos has worked extensively with the production s Attis Theatre actors (Stathis Grapsas, Antonis Miriagos, and Paolo Musio), its Philadelphia actors are brand new to him. The American company was chosen after a two-week workshop with Terzopoulos in January 2015, and the seven-week rehearsal process will be both physically and vocally demanding: we must break the fixed ideas, prisons, rules, and re-construct a new image, says Terzopoulos, and actors have to have bodies that can be a material for these transformations. The body contains a whole new world. About the Director Theodoros Terzopoulos was born in the village of Makrygialos, in the Pieria area of Northern Greece. He attended K. Michailidis Drama School (Athens) and the Berliner Ensemble (Berlin). He was the Director of the Drama School of the State Theatre of Northern Greece from and the Artistic Director of the International Meeting of Ancient Drama in Delphi from Terzopoulos created Attis Theatre Group in Delphi in Since 1990 he has been a founding member of the International Institute of the Mediterranean Theatre for which he became the President of the Greek department in Since 1993 he has been the Chairman of the International Committee of the Theatre Olympics. In 2005 he founded the new International Meeting of Ancient Drama. Recent performances with Attis Theatre are a coproduction of Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus with Istanbul Cultural Capital of Europe in 2010, Antigone by Sophocles at the Central Drama Academy of Beijing in 2011, and Mauser by Heiner Müller at the Grotowski Institute in Wroclaw in As Professor Marianne McDonald describes, Terzopoulos works are heart-wrenching dramas, using the body with the human soul as the main performer. Pain, and its memory, is engraved on the human body. In all of his pieces, Terzopoulos actors are imbued with a specificity of movement, depicting language through their physicality in ways that are both uniquely Greek, drawing upon ancient Greek texts and modern politics alike, and viscerally universal. About Attis Theatre Attis Theatre was founded in 1985 in Delphi by Theodoros Terzopoulos. Its elementary aim is the research upon ancient Greek tragedy and significant plays of international dramaturgy. Attis Theatre has presented over 1,850 performances all over the world. It collaborates with international festivals and foreign theatres as a co-producer of multilingual and multicultural performances. It promotes Terzopolous working method, and has organized 300 workshops and 50 conferences on theatrical theory, most of them in conjunction with the most important drama academies. Books about Attis Theatre have been published and translated in several languages. Attis theatre performances of ancient tragedy, which are considered to be exemplary, are being taught in 30 international universities.
