Project summary

The play is inspired by the real news that shook the Greek society on 12 September.2019, when a family's dog attacked their three-month-old baby in the presence of the mother who "with great perseverance and effort managed to get her child out of its jaws". In La Lupa (she-wolf), two ordinary characters of today turn into tragic heroes: Eutychia (happiness), devastated by the loss of her infant, becomes ‘Nemesis’ herself for her husband Marcos, who decides to bring their wolf-dog back home right after the deadly attack that cost their baby’s life. Transcribing the myth of Procne and Medea – two ancient myths of infanticide – the play La Lupa is a fusion of fiction and documentary theatre that creates a contemporary tragedy.
