- I am not Prometheus, but if I were...
- If Prometheus were me...
- I think Prometheus was...
Almost all of us know the Greek mythology stories about Prometheus, who disobeyed the gods of Olympus and gifted fire to mortals. And if you had to be Prometheus yourself, would you dare? What would your Promethean story be?
Three actors present their own interpretation of the myth to the audience, sharing Promethean stories about hopes and fears, admiration and shame, learning from mistakes and repeating them. Traveling through different historical periods, the creators search for human Prometheuses.
Perhaps they are those who, even knowing that disobeying the existing order will result in punishment, decide to light a flame just for the chance for others to get warm? This theatrical work is dedicated to those human Prometheuses.
