Six actors play the mythic heroes linked to the cursed house of the Labdacides on a “dangerously inclined plane”. Picking up the tale from the family’s original sin – the “guilty passion” Laius, the son of Labdacus and father of Oedipus, nursed for Chrysippus, which leads to the youth’s suicide – the cast attempt a new reading of Oedipus’ patricide and incest.
Aspasia Kralli, who studied mime at the Marcel Marceau Paris International School of Mimodrama, employs the language of the body in her approach to the tragic Oedipus cycle in which psychoanalysts have sought expressions of the subconscious and timeless questions relating to parents’ relationships with their children and to human existence
