If I Were Prometheus

“I am not Prometheus, but if I were…” “If Prometheus were me…” “I think Prometheus was…” Almost everyone knows the stories from Greek mythology about Prometheus, who defied the gods of Olympus and gave fire to mortals. But if you had to be Prometheus yourself, would you dare? What would your Promethean story be? Three actors present their interpretation of the myth to the audience, sharing Promethean stories about hopes and fears, admiration and shame, learning from mistakes and repeating them. Travelling through different historical periods, the creators search for human Prometheuses. Perhaps they are those who, even knowing they will be punished for defying the existing order, dare to kindle a flame simply so that others might have a chance to warm themselves? This theatrical work is dedicated to those human Prometheuses.
