- Zyklon or destiny,
- 2014
- 1 male - 1 female
Playwright: Thanasis Triaridis
- A man and a woman meet, without ever actually laying eyes on each other, in the twin capsule of a famous roller coaster game called Zyklon. During the time that they are scheduled to remain confined there, and having the freedom to say whatever they want since they will never meet, they construct identities, devise “selves”, remember stories – and, almost inevitably, retrace the past (?) brutality of the Holocaust; the extermination Chambers, and Zyklon B gas. With the distancing that time offers, they make scenarios and set up imaginary ‘old stories of potent love’. At some point, however, the two heroes realize that there can be no return from the “selves” they have created: the Story they remembered overwhelms them, their imaginary love becomes Destiny. There might actually be Zyklon B gas in the theatre’s ventilation system. A romantic nightmare about powerful love, the power of Destiny, and people’s big meeting.
