The Castle of Mytilene: Building on the Past

The Castle of Mytilene: Building on the Past is a diverse show that combines music and theatre, highlighting the events that have shaped the castle’s current form. The audience is virtually taken through seven milestone stops, each featuring a different performance. Each mudbrick of the Castle of Mytilene has been based on an earlier one. Different nations have built upon one another, in a continuous blend of civilizations, using many and diverse materials. How have people shaped the castle over the centuries, and how has the castle influenced those who have lived within its walls? Each different era, connected to the previous one, takes the baton, offering its own stone and contribution for the following era to consider. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow; the past as a guide; the East and the West; the evolution of the structure; always centered on the fusion of the new with the old, as manifested in the castle itself, the people, and art.
