Isabelle Huppert comes to the Main Stage of the Onassis Cultural Centre and transforms herself into a goddess, a queen, a sacred prostitute, a love-struck suicide and an icon to self-destructive passion as she serves once more as muse beyond compare for the great Polish director, Krzysztof Warlikowski.
A true star with more than one hundred films to her name along with awards at the Cannes and Venice festivals comes to the OCC to offers a sensational recital of transformations on December 20 and December 22.
Phaedra(s) is an iconoclastic production based on an intricate mosaic of texts which draws equally on ancient Greek myth, pop culture, philosophy and contemporary politics. Extracts from two ancient tragedies—Euripides’ Hippolytus and Seneca’s Phaedra—are combined with three contemporary works: Phaedra’s Love by the emblematic British dramatist and suicide, Sarah Kane, the novel Elizabeth Costello by the South African Nobel prize-winner J.M. Coetzee, and texts by the Canadian-Lebanese author Wajdi Mouawad.
