Genesis No. 2 by Ivan Viripaev is a “tragedy of meaning” that manages to combine humor and realism, with deep questions about meaning and existence. It talks about freedom and imposition, loneliness and connection between people. He talks about God and with God, who is one of the characters of the work.

“If you believe in God, this does not mean that God also believes in you”

But it is about a humanized, revolutionary God, who defiantly declares that he does not exist, forcing man to look for what might exist beyond him. Is there anything else?

“In everything that exists around us, there is something else, something other than what we see”

Through the text worlds and characters are born, current and eternal that have the flexibility to transform through the eyes of the viewers. This brings to the surface thoughts and feelings that we all have, but perhaps don’t know how to put into words.

The polyphonic nature of the text is also reflected in the direction, which tries an innovative approach to the work. Five actors alternate in the roles of the play, changing characters in each performance, spontaneously, without any prior agreement as to which role each one will take on in each scene. Thus, through this game of self-determination, each performance will be different, unpredictable and truly “alive”.

The ETÚTI Theater Group, directed by Kali Voikli and with the original musical composition of Viki Kapetanopoulou, create an alternative performance, where Viripaev’s text emerges as the “main face of the work”.

The performance is held under the auspices and with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture.
