The theatrical play “I, a Slave”, by Vangelis Chatzigiannidis, gives a voice to a woman who remains in the shadows of the wars of every age. At the side of Queen Hecuba, she recounts, with bitter humour and disarming honesty, the collapse of a world to which war delivers the final blow.<\/p>\n

As she unfolds the story of her mistress, she also tells her own: a life devoted to obedience and silence. Thus, behind her voice, gather all the \u201cslave women\u201d of History who were silenced when they were told to obey. At the same time, through the central character of the protagonist, many other figures from the myth come to life: Odysseus, Polyxena, Achilles and Polymestor, sometimes perpetrators and sometimes victims, inextricably bound together in the terrifying wheel of fate and circumstance.<\/p>\n

In this way, the Maid\u2019s monologue walks a fine line throughout the play between parody and tragicomedy. Gradually, it transforms into a voice of Responsibility and Remembrance, reminding us that History is shaped, among other things, by the inaction of all those who surrender to their own powerlessness.<\/p>\n
