Lucky Luke Is Afraid

The production Lucky Luke Is Afraid, written and directed by Taxiarchis Deligiannis and Vasilis Tsiouvaras, uses the form of musical to enhance the hero’s inner struggle with color and poetic immediacy.

The storyline is as follows: Andreas (19 years old) and Antigone (17 years old) are in an online relationship using the nicknames Lucky and Betty, without ever exchanging their real names or photographs. Andreas is experiencing a strong internal conflict between his true, sensitive self, whom he only presents online, and his image of a restless, tough boy, which he only shows to the outside world. His love for Antigone gradually frees him from his fears and gambling addiction, enabling him to reveal his true self. Like Alcestis in the ancient myth, Andreas “returns” to the outside world, leaving the virtual world to which he had surrendered himself until then, behind.
