Synopsis

Famous yet full of mystery, Penthesilea is the queen of the Amazons — one of the few warriors who managed to stand up to the invincible Achilles in the Trojan War. Part of the fate of the war lies in her hands.

This time, she risks repeating her sister’s mistake, falling in love with her greatest enemy.

Famous yet full of mystery, Penthesilea is the queen of the Amazons — one of the few warriors who managed to stand up to the invincible Achilles in the Trojan War. Part of the fate of the war lies in her hands.

With 43 victories and only one defeat — suffered when she tried to save her sister, Antiope, who had fled with the hero Theseus and married him, breaking her vow to the Amazon people — Penthesilea now faces a new dilemma. This time, she risks repeating her sister’s mistake, falling in love with her greatest enemy.

This story of impossible love has been told over time by Homer, Heinrich von Kleist, and, in contemporary times, by the Georgian writer Nino Haratischwili. In her modern version, the playwright explores essential themes of the Greek myth — heroism, the art of war, civilization, and human destiny — and rewrites the ending of the story in an unexpected and haunting way.
