Monologue
Satire
Nikos Papathanasis
Directed by
A monologue written, directed, and performed by me, playing multiple roles
Lead
The play refers to the rape of Medusa by Poseidon and includes fantastical experiences and dreams, bringing the audience into contact with their psychological, unconscious, and collective self.
It is an absurd play with satirical irony about contemporary human problems as well as the responsibility of the state.
