Euripides’ Bacchae and Iphigenia in Tauris and Aristophanes’ comedy The Clouds are the texts chosen for the 56th season of the 2020 Greek Festival of Syracuse in Sicily.
In all three you can find hidden truths, the theme of the 2020 season, scenes and characters that present themselves in an opposite way to what they really are.
Starting from the last tragedy of Euripides, The Bacchae, a mosaic impossible to compose, where every truth overshadows its opposite, in Iphigenia in Tauris, where every reality believed is false, to The Clouds, where every faith in certain solutions or certain “new culture”, proves to be illusory.
