Description du concert
AGAPI & OTHER KINDS OF LOVE is a poetry and Hip-hop theatre show inspired by the Ancient Greek words for love. Luka Lesson’s story begins with Socrates telling a banquet of friends everything he learnt from a mysterious lover named Diotima. The gods then take the audience on a journey – collapsing time and space to arrive in modern-day Athens, where the two reincarnations of the ancient lovers fall in love (again) amid a riot.
Lesson's storytelling abilities shine as he takes us on a journey through different kinds of love: Eros, Filia, Filoxenia, Philautia, Storgi, Pragma and (the ultimate) Agapi. Self-love, erotic love, familial love and more all collide with statues of Aphrodite, Molotov cocktails and the Parthenon’s steps.
Equal parts rap performance, poetic musical and classical history lesson, AGAPI & OTHER KINDS OF LOVE shows us how love prevails despite the trials and tribulations of the ages.
Presented with Vyva Entertainment. Originally commissioned by La Boite Theatre, Bleach Festival and the National Museum of Australia.
