Euripides Laskaridis Transmuted Artistic Misery Into Creative Success
Katie Kheriji-Watts
The offbeat, hybrid stage productions of Greek performer and director Euripides Laskaridis have found an unexpected home in the world of contemporary dance.
By 2012, the Greek actor and director Euripides Laskaridis had had a fifteen-year-long career in television and theatre, working with household names and well on his way to national acclaim himself. He was also, in his own words, “absolutely miserable.” So he gave himself an ultimatum: create a performance in which he could “enjoy every single second” of being on stage, or quit his profession for good.
Three years later, the resulting solo, Relic, premiered at the Aerowaves Spring Forward showcase in Barcelona, finally launching him, at the age of forty, into the artistic career he had long hoped for. His creations – including his 2017 duo Titans and the 2019 group piece Elenit – have been touring across Europe, the Middle East, and North America for the last eight years. “I was lucky because I never thought I was doing dance or choreography,” says Laskaridis, whose self-described “quirky” pieces have found a home in the world of contempo

but I am quite new to Greek literature. I was recently reading Euripides'
Medea (beginning at 230) and was rather surprised at the strong statements
from the woman's POV. I was especially struck by her statements "I would
prefer standing three times with a shield (in battle) than one time in

Was there any precedence to this, or was he the first?? Did it affect
noticeably subsequent writings?
