More than two thousand years after Plautus first told the story of Amphitryon, Teresa Ludovico revisits one of the foundational myths of Western theatre, raising a question that feels particularly relevant in the 21st century and speaks directly to the central paradox of theatre itself: Who am I, who are we, when someone else can take on our appearance?
In a world where identity theft, duplication, and manipulation are becoming increasingly possible, Amphitryon transforms an ancient Roman comedy into a powerful contemporary theatrical reflection on authenticity, memory, and the fragile boundary between outward appearance and a person's true identity.
