Theater “Gloria”
Date
2023 and 2024

A political, post-dramatic theatre play, whose original text by director Aris Biniaris, assimilates universal metaphors, as well as lyrics of rapper "Unknown Winter" into an intense multimedia experience exploring the ominous parallels between this ancient myth and the dark chapters of modern history.

Diving deep into the psychological aspects of his Embodied Sound Dramaturgy, Emmanouel Rovithis uses whispers and breaths recorded by the actors, along with dark and aggressive musical elements, to create a constant, intense audio texture embracing theatrical speech.
