Musical and choreographic performance “Bacchae”
September 14 at the TEO musical-choreographic performance-performance “Bacchae”. The play is based on the tragedy of Euripides, conceptualizing the myth of Dionysus, the god of winemaking and the productive forces of nature. The young god comes to his homeland in Thebes to establish his cult, but meets resistance from King Pentheus, who considers the new cult to be immoral. Faced with metamorphoses and animal instincts that are in each of us, turning a person inside out, Dionysus leads his heroes along the endless path of knowing the true self through ecstasy. The action has been transferred to modern realities, the main events of the performance take place in a modern religious sect and underground night club “DIONYSOS!” Scenography that turns the entire theater into a nightclub with a bar and dance floor for the audience, modern choreography, eclecticism of relevant musical trends (TECHNO, IDM, AMBIENT, LIVE ELECTRO ACOUSTIСS) and shamanistic rituals of different peoples of the world performed live, as well as current issues, set in the ancient text - all this is intended to include the imagination of the viewer to enter the mystery and to correlate his personal experience with the idea of the work.
