National Theatre of Greece - Sotiris Hadzakis

Thesmophoriazusae
by Aristophanes

“In Aristophanes, the ‘impure’ male intrusion into the officiating female population takes the form of a comic event that makes use of elements of the impious, the derisive and the saucy to transform the ritual story into a fiesta in which a series of disguises contribute to actions that conform to the play within a play technique, taking the process of mimicry and metamorphosis to new heights.”
