Relic

The solo performance Relic by Euripides Laskaridis and the OSMOSIS group celebrates its 10th anniversary and will be presented at the Onassis Stegi for 8 performances.



The Latin etymology of the word ‘relic’ (reliquiae) suggests something that remains; the raw material of this world may seem random and insignificant, yet through absurdity and exaggeration, it transforms into a work that surprises. “RELIC” is a journey of metamorphoses, a path to poetry that unfolds within an otherworldly cabaret, ultimately revealing something strikingly human.

“RELIC” is what remains from the past. A thing left behind, be it memory, object, language, or being. Euripides Laskaridis immerses himself and ensnares his audience in ideas of transformation and ridicule that shift restlessly between the peculiarly poignant and the utterly bizarre. This outrageously attractive solo performance, crafted in the heart of the Greek crisis, takes playful risks far out from the norm to test the limits of our acceptance when it comes to things incongruous and unfamiliar. Sly facets of cabaret, vaudeville, and slapstick make magic out of the mundane, maneuvering audiences without warning into moments unexpectedly transcendent.
