In the modern world Prometheus’ myth has
been committed to the fringes of History,
History to the fringes ofMemory andMemory
to the fringes of time. Time has frozen now,
and Prometheus moves in it with a blurred
memory, a recyclable material of a wasteland.
He fragmentally narrates his experience as
a nightmare, coming from the future and
now implacably determining the present. He
narrates “the end of the end that has no end in a
dead land”. There is no response to his appeal,
since he is surrounded only by a desert. His
intense speech reflects the short-circuit of the
body and the meaning. He suffers from the
syndrome of the unbridgeable. He converses
with the visions of his loneliness, an exile on
the theatre stage. Beside himself, he talks to
his fragmented self in the cracked mirror. His
rage and wailing about his recurring defeat on
the stage “at the bottom of Europe” “in the
Greece of 2011” are endless.
