Following performances at more than 30 international venues and festivals around the world, Euripides Laskaridis’ acclaimed work “RELIC” is coming to Onassis Stegi, creating yet again – out of minimal means – a dark world where desires and fears are set free.

“RELIC” is an international co-production that had its world première in Barcelona in 2015 before going on to appear at another 30 international venues and festivals. A journey of many transformations, it is a path towards poetry opened up by means of an otherworldly cabaret that ends up somewhere disarmingly human. An acclaimed performance created by Euripides Laskaridis and the OSMOSIS performing arts company.

The performance tests the limits of both audiences and the performer. The Latin root of the word “relic” (“relinque”) denotes that which is left behind; the raw ingredients of this world might appear random and insignificant, but they are transformed – through the use of all that is ridiculous and exaggerated – into a work that takes you by surprise.

Reviews:

- “He is the most ridiculous of impossible bodies, and so, on some level, the most tragic of Frankensteinian monstrosities. Your own brain keeps thinking what the fuck? and then: what the hell, just go with it. It’s worth it.”
– Sanjoy Roy (“The Guardian”), “Writing on Dance” – sanjoyroy.net

- “Anarchic, physical theatre that will live long in the memory. Euripides Laskaridis is a Greek exponent of the theatre of the absurd, without inhibition and possessing enormous charisma.”
– Graham Watts, “DanceTabs”

- “Laskaridis masters simple but effective movements and a colorful range of vocal sounds. His sharp imagination messes with our expectations of any familiar gesture or attitude he undertakes, transforming them into dreamlike connections. Again and again, each amusing twist makes one feel more and more at home in “RELIC’s” bizarre atmosphere.”
– Clàudia Brufau, “Aerowaves Review”
