Amphitryon

In the organizer's words:

A new take on Molière's comic confusion of identity: a tragicomic comedy about self-image, deception and the question of who we really are.

"Is this hand mine? Is this breast mine? Is the image in the mirror mine?"
It's an amusing comedy, a rollercoaster ride of emotions and identities! Imagine you are in a world where gods pull the strings and cause a lot of confusion.
Written in 1668 as a critique of "Sun King" Louis XIV, Molière's light-hearted comedy is still relevant today.
In order to conquer Amphitryon's wife, Jupiter, the father of the gods, unleashes a war with Taphier. While his spouse Amphitryon goes to war, Jupiter assumes his form and seduces Amphitryon's wife Alcmene. Conventional relationships are out of joint, identities are fluid, relationships are turned upside down and the boundaries between right and wrong become blurred.
This burlesque comedy deals with philosophical and social issues with entertaining lightness and folk theater techniques.
