The First Young Woman

What is it like to be the daughter of the all-powerful gods Zeus and Hera, and always remain in your parents' shadow? What is it like to be the first young woman in world history and accept that you will remain so forever? Is humanity, which we perceive as a weakness, not rather divine? Growing up is a journey during which we begin to move away from childhood and set out on a conscious path to discover our identity. Yet only each of us knows how rough and uneven this path is. What we present to the world is rarely what we truly feel and experience. And deciding how much reality we want to show others is a universal dilemma. So universal that it has been experienced even by the first young woman known in world history, the ancient Greek goddess of youth, Hebe.

The cultural heritage of Ancient Greece has given us a huge number of values that we still respect and appreciate today - democracy, theater, the Olympic Games. But the most mysterious legacy is the mythological heritage of Ancient Greece, which we have read, depicted, analyzed, and deconstructed through the ages. Over these millennia, the least voice has unjustly been given to the youngest of the goddesses, who this time will finally be allowed to speak - the teenager Hebe.

A performance in which there will be no place for the theater rule - no photography allowed - because every audience member will have to step into the role of a photo correspondent to help Hebe tell her coming-of-age story.
