Abstract(s)

In a context of diaspora of the Syrian people, we ﬁnd a set of innovative scenic proposals as a result of therapeutic theatre workshops in which refugees, the most visible face of the Syrian tragedy, are the protagonists. It is our goal to show how the inter-actions between the ancient and the modern, in addition to ensure the timelessness and universality of the Greek ancient drama, contribute not only to give these women a voice but also contribute to create a new revolutionary public sphere. We would like to show how these projects of adaptations of Greek tragedies went from promoting personal healing to a new revolutionary public sphere based on new models to improve civic commitment.
