During this decade, Theodore Terzopoulos with his group, ATTIS Theatre, has presented his work, the ancient texts, in Greece and abroad. The main axon of its work was "Voice and Body in Ancient Theatre". In the play "Prometheus Bound", Terzopoulos is trying to release the human energy, hidden in the body, through stillness and immobility. The play exposes the conflict between the new and the old values in life: in the old Prometheus scale, Man needs to be united with Nature, God and the Polis, while in the new order God is the Superior Being and all creatures must obey to Him. Prometheus, as a symbol of freedom, is the one that brings to light the power of LAW, which frightens man and god, he seeks the secret key of balance between logic and instinct, between the order and the chaos but he will never find it, even when he will get liberated by Hercules.   BACK
