LOUKIA ALAVANOU - Oedipus in Search of Colonus

Greek artist Loukia Alavanou’s acclaimed work from the Venice Biennale Oedipus in Search of Colonus is coming to Stockholm and will be shown at Accelerator. Using VR technology, Alavanou transports the visitor to a Greek shanty town populated by Romans and makes it the setting for a modern version of Sophocles’ ancient drama. By letting the classic drama portray our contemporary times, Alavanou raises questions about belonging, inclusion and empathy
