This adaptation of Jan Kochanowski’s The Dismissal of the Greek Envoys vividly brings to life the tense, pre-war atmosphere in ancient Troy, exploring themes of honor, pride, and the tragic costs of diplomacy ignored.
The performance delves into the moral and emotional struggles of both sides, revealing the tension between personal desires and political obligations that fuel the conflict. Staying true to ancient theatrical tradition, all roles, including female characters, are portrayed by male actors, which reinforces the classical roots of the drama.
