Woman of Troy / Trojanki
Based on the tragedy by Euripides, this production shifts the ancient myth into a permanent, contemporary landscape of conflict. The staging functions as a physical and visceral exploration of grief, rage, and collective trauma, redefining the classical antique chorus through intense live music, contemporary dance, and therapeutic movement practices.
