“If we help, we invite trouble. If we don’t, we invite shame.”
In one of the world’s oldest surviving plays, fifty young women flee across the Mediterranean to escape forced marriage, risking everything in search of sanctuary. What unfolds is a plea for protection, a fight for autonomy—and a confrontation with a community caught between fear and compassion.
Written over 2,500 years ago, Aeschylus’ The Suppliant Women pulses with contemporary urgency. Performed with a live chorus of young women from The American College of Greece, this semi-staged production combines music, movement, and ancient ritual to stunning effect.
The Suppliant Women chorus consists of students from the Music Performance and Theater Arts Programs of Deree College, The American College of Greece. Choir Director Effi Minakoulis. Their participation is sponsored by the Frances Rich School of Fine and Performing Arts of the American College of Greece.
