2 - Oedipus Genus
Multinational group of participants of the 2nd Meeting of Young Artists of Southeast Europe
The “Oedipus Genos” workshop came into being thanks to the efforts of participants in the two previous Encounters for young artists from SE Europe. Using excerpts from various ancient plays in five languages, the participants will combine techniques from physical theatre and puppeteering with a view to exploring the universal nature of ancient Greek drama with a focus firmly on the present.
Excerpts from the following works are used: Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus by Sophocles, Seven Against Thebes by Aeschylus, The Phoenician Women by Euripides, Antigone by Sophocles.

3 - An Imaginary Symposium
Participatory action | Performance
An “Imaginary Symposium” is a live experiment in common thinking. Bringing together ancient Greek modes of sociability with artificial intelligence, it attempts to reactivate how we reflect and imagine in common. An algorithm projects absurd sentences on stage, randomly combining words out of books about social imaginaries. Inspired by these sentences, the participants of the symposium decide, each time anew, on the topic of their discussion. The starting point of “An Imaginary Symposium” is the ancient
Greek symposium as the archetypal form of sharing knowledge and creating discourses in the Western world. The symposium used to be a party of some kind, a social gathering where people met to drink, eat, play and discuss issues of shared concern. Today, the term relates more to an authorization, or even a commercialization, of knowledge in mainly academic contexts. “An Imaginary Symposium” comments on current uses of the symposium by focusing on the performativity of thought. Shifting the attention from ’innovative’ content to commons and the live practice of thinking, it seeks to create the conditions for conceiving visions of our present and future collectively. The participatory version of “An Imaginary Symposium” addresses only ten audience members at a time who, together with two performers/assistants, are guided step-by-step by Kate (an algorithmic voice) in order to create their own Imaginary Symposium on the spot.

4 - Antigone - 2000 years later
Mess Festival, Ulysses Theater
Croatia
We have to speak up about our contemporary times, of course, start a dialogue about the questions which bother and surround us, about the giddiness of people who passionately bow before those who win. On the other hand, we have to speak up, too, about the well-known problem of megalomania and wars, as well as history, which not only defines, but rules our contemporaneity.

5 - The Wound Philoctetes - Post Truth Le(sv)mnos
After Philoctetes by Sophocles and Heiner Muller
Sfumato Theatre Laboratory
Bulgaria
Lemnos and Lesvos are both sites of contestation, where precarious bodies oscillate between spatial binaries such as proximity/non-proximity, inclusion/exclusion. Both Philoctetes and the Refugee are figures occupying spaces of transition and ambiguity that are either tragic or culpable. In much the same way that Philoctetes commits a transgression by stepping onto the shrine of the goddess Chryse, the refugee engages in the transgressive act of arrival, ‘the original sin of migration’. We want to explore the ways in which ancient Greek tragedy can solicit the reader’s critical engagement with the emerging problem of the “intruding” collective body of refugees seeking asylum in Europe. We would like to explore the ways in which the given text can open up the representational potentials of the refugees’ transgressive bodies, while we are also interested in fathoming drama’s potential to create the presuppositions for the publics’ critical engagement with the social, political and cultural aspects of the refugees’ precarious lives.
