about

Inspired by the ancient greek myth of Prometheus’ gift to humanity (fire and knowledge), our story takes place in a country where it's forbidden for citizens to meet, speak face to face or have physical contact.
The law allows contact only through technology.
Everybody has a personal communicating system, not allowed to be unplugged.
In this dystopian society, a woman organizes illegal gatherings, reminding people the worth of human touch. She gets punished.
A girl endlessly seeking happiness, decides to visit the woman.
Hope is a precious gift!

The soundtrack “The Encounter” is composed for the titular thaatrical performance which is an allegory about our contemporary life which is flooded by technology.
We are so much bound to technology that we consider living without it impossible, especially when emergency conditions compel us to turn to virtual ways of contact through cameras (like the COVID19 pandemic).
What would happen if we were forced by law to use technology for every human contact and not allowed to physically approach each other?
Can humanity stand this? Is it possible to exist without hugs?
Or groups that have fun together and laugh together?
What if a woman decided to break the law and give all these illegal but necessary goods for the soul to people?
Would she accept her punishment or would she try to escape?
Could a lonely girl, deprived since childhood of any tenderness and born in a technological society, help the woman?

During the pandemic, while collaborating with director Giannis Fasois and actresses Myrto Stavropoulou and Eleni Meligkari, we questioned ourselves about the act of giving to humanity, having the titan Prometheus as an example.

If humans are created to be social, the needed gift in this dystopian technological environment is human contact.
