Theseus and Ariadne in Bull Island at the Badminton Theatre

The Badminton Theatre presents the children's show "Theseus and Ariadne on the island of Taurus" Is the motto of the 16th Spare Parts Bazaar 26 January – 28 April 2013.

Theseus and Ariadne on the Island of the Bulls, the first Greek children's theater production to stage Badminton, is a show that combines the spectacular with the educational character of ancient Greek myths.

The show tells the story of the mythical hero Theseus, son of King Aegeus and founder of Athens. Theseus, after breathtaking feats, travels to Crete and, with the help of the Gods and the beautiful Ariadne, defeats the Minotaur. The plot is riveting: all the Greek mythology - heroes participate in the adventure, mortals, wonderful but also terrible supernatural beings and of course the Olympian Gods.  From work to work and from city to city, knitwear is woven, hatred, suffering, but also friendships and loves and above all love! Battles languish on the road of Theseus, storms, mermaids – the adventures for true heroes never end.

Palaces parade on stage, seas, fortresses, ships, labyrinths, mermaids, bulls – bull eating –  gods emerging from the bowels of the earth, or fall from the sky, heroes, mortals, bright but also dark supernatural beings!

The text is signed by the acclaimed poet Stratis Paschalis.  The direction and choreography is by award-winning choreographer Sofia Spyratou. The original score was composed by one of the most remarkable young composers, who stood out through Schoolwave, Apollo Retsos. The imposing sets and costumes were designed by the always imaginative Manolis Pantelidakis, who created an impressive visual world, which gives the spectacle special, unforgettable authenticity. The size and quality of the show ensure, also, the Badminton Theater and Michalis Adams who signs the production.

More than twenty talented artists – aerial acrobats, actors, singers,  μουσικοί¬, some of whom are invited from abroad especially for this production – give flesh and bones to the legend.

The show stars one of the most important actors of the younger generation, Yannis Stankoglou, in the role of Theseus. With him the: Electra Nikolouzou and Georgina Paleothodorou. They also participate (in alphabetical order): Anna Athanasiadis, Alexandros Keivanais, Amalia Kosmas, Alexandros Laskaratos, Chloe Mantzari, Jeff Marawi, Yanna Medvedeva, George Pelagias, Chris Radanov, Alain Rivero Rodriguez, Yannis Smeros, Ivan Svitailo, Angeliki Trombouki, Alberto Feis, Rania Fovou, Iove Fragatou, Evi Hatzakis et al.

Theseus and Ariadne in Bull Island is a show that marks a new concept for children's theater, in a production equal to all the great shows hosted at the Badminton Theatre.
The archetypal Greek mythology and the rich, impressive sight for children are perceived as a top quality and priority educational process – especially in an age of emerging extremes – that the emphasis on reasonable moderation taught by classical education is vital.  Because the play talks about the meeting of two different cultures: on the one hand the measure and reason of Athens and on the other the mysticism and fist of the Minoan sea rule. The two cultures open a dialogue and get to know each other, conveying an important message to children.

The show is perfect for all ages!
