Alexis. A Greek Tragedy
Opening Night: January 4, 2012
Closing: January 12, 2012
Theater: La MaMa E.T.C.
In 2008, 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos became an icon of youthful rebellion after he was shot by a policeman, triggering an unprecedented storm of protests against the corrupted political system in Greece. In their continued search for a modern Antigone in present-day resistance, Motus emerges with this documentary theatre piece of uncompromising theatricality. Alexis is their poetic call to action.
