Agon: A Contest of Logos
27.07 — 28.07.2026
21.00
Description
A performer stands before a digital mirror – a digital image of himself. Is it real? What does he see reflected in his own likeness? Agon: A Contest of Logos is a staged confrontation between human and artificial intelligence, between creator and creation, structured according to the principles and ritual form of the Agon – the contest of arguments at the heart of ancient Greek tragedy and comedy. Taking as its point of departure the Antikythera Mechanism, the world’s oldest known analog computer and an object-symbol of human ingenuity and imagination, the arguments of both sides of the mirror unfold through classical texts, from antiquity to the present day. An original performance in the form of a digital staged reading. A contest without a judge. An agreement without a winner. Theatre, music and digital installation at the Zinzirli Mosque, Serres, the «mosque of the chains», a monument of exceptional acoustics dating to the 16th century, on 27 and 28 July.
