Theatre:
姊姊妹妹站起來

Matinee performance of the Chinese-language stage adaptation of the ancient Greek comedy 利西翠妲 by 亞里斯多芬. Directed and adapted by Greek director 卡特琳娜・伊雲格拉桃絲, with a Chinese script by 喻榮軍. The story follows Athenian women who occupy the Acropolis in a “love, not war” campaign to end the Peloponnesian War, using wit and laughter to push the men toward peace. Female characters lead the action, while costumes mix traditional Chinese craft elements with classical Greek fountain imagery and modern scrolling bullet-comment elements in a bold, colorful surreal style that crosses ancient and modern. 利西翠妲 and her sisters sing and dance through a comedy that reflects on the contemporary world and calls for peace.
