Bacchae
With the production of Euripides’
Bacchae,
the Mi-
tos Theatre Group, Cyprus, concluded its innovative
work onEuripides’
Bacchae
that began in July 2009.
The Group examined the conflict between King
Pentheus and Dionysus and used the reality of our
current situation to contextualise it. Poor Pentheus:
his disrespect toward Dionysus and his punishment
for it makes him a prominent figure among the
tragic figures of Greek mythology. This new King
of Thebes stands formoderation and self-restraint, in
juxtaposition with Dionysus, who protects the vital
acceptance of instinct. The Chorals were interpreted
in ancient Greek and followed the rules of Prosody.
