H.O.P.E.

Physical theater solo show inspired by the ancient Greek myth of Pandora

This show is about Pandora and her… not a box actually, it was a translation mistake made by Erasmus in the 16th century, Pandora came with a pithos, a large storage jar full of both vices and virtues. This show explores the seasons of Pandora’s life, her as a human and an allegory of Earth, and her pithos as a vessel containing both vises and virtues and both her personal destiny and also the destiny of the whole humanity.

Audience members have been saying:

“Phenomenal, exquisitely controlled body work in service of a universal human journey. Harrowing and moving. Brilliant.”

Enthralling interpretation which had audience members literally on the edge of their seats. The best piece in the festival.

“Hypnotizing, otherworldly, creative, disturbing, and inventive.”

“Wow. I have no words. Absolutely stunning amazing beautiful and even funny at times.”
