Pre-booking for 15th of September

An ensemble of actors, a modern “chorus” that creates a ritual-like atmosphere, attempts to compose a musical theatre performance with narratives about Smyrna, the diamond of the East. How a vibrant and multicultural city is vanished by nationalism, imperialistic interests, hatred and immodesty.

Narrations, pieces of history of Asia Minor, recited like ancient Greek chorus create pictures of the catastrophe of Smyrna. These narrations and comments are disrupted by real personal testimonies that weave the painful bloody web of human lives. By borrowing elements from the Ancient Greek tragedy such as hubris, atis (ate), nemesis and the darkness caused by illusion finds fertile ground in the deep and unhealed trauma.

This relentless shifting fortunes of the war, the nemesis affects and changes the tragic fate of Christians of Asia Minor.
