Theater of the future at Onassis Stegi. Or is it theater of our absolute present? Three new original works, shortlisted after an annual open call, are having their premiere moment.
“Call Me Sugar” by Christina Kipreou and Michalis Pitidis is an episodic theatrical performance that addresses with humor issues such as the commodification of fetishism, taboos, stereotypes, loneliness, and sexuality, through the field of online sex work. As a character of the play notes: "Imagination is much more real, authentic, and pleasing than any erotic encounter."
“Earthquake” by Vasilis Vilaras disturbs the tectonic plates of existing racism and homophobia, as it invites at the Upper Stage of Stegi non-binary people, trans femininities, fat bodies, immigrant women and sex workers, just for being who they are. Or, as heard during the performance: “Tonight we are going to talk about diversity, the favorite word mainly of those who do not fall into this category. Because I have never encountered a single person who is different and states so.”
Finally, Zoe Sigalou and Marina Siotou, with their work “Perseids or how to party hard,” introduce us to their very own version of a Chorus in the “here and now,” where they talk about romance, love, friendship, and what it’s like to grow up as femininity in the Millennial generation and Gen Z. Because, as they note in their work, “now, the time has come to redefine femininity, to praise and celebrate it as we want. Because it’s ours and only ours.”

“To make love so loud
That it will enshroud our voices
Freeze our thoughts
Make our hearts stop beating – just for a while.”
