Ektoras Lygizos
The School for Wives by Molière

Arnolphe becomes a tyrant lest he become a cuckold. MolièreΆs classic The School for Wives spins an archetypal tale of female rebellion, packaged as a series of hilarious misunderstandings. Employing Chryssa ProkopakiΆs brilliant translation in decapentasyllabic verse, Ektoras Lygizos continues experimenting with the demanding genre of farce, drawing forth the musicality of verse language. At the same time, the director explores the titillating ambiguity of gendered µeducationΆ aiming at the µcorrectΆ performativity of prescribed gender roles.
