Fashion workshop based on Ancient Greek Drama Euripidies Iphigenia in Tauris Athens and Epidaurous Festival
In a flashback to her past, Iphigenia recounts how she arrived from Avlida to the land of Tauris, where she escaped «deus ex machina» to save herself. She will never forget her suffering.
I was overwhelmed by the question of memory and history as structural elements of one’s identity. The answer came from Japan, with the Kintsugi ritual technique of repairing fragile objects by welding their fragments with gold. Cracks should not be hidden. As part of its history, they give to the
body its personal character. Through their revelation it is possible to reconcile with the traumas and uncover a new identity. Searching for the form and materiality that would highlight the cracks of my own Iphigenia, I ended up with a ´fragile´ dress with curves and golden seams in organic etching. The figure is framed by a vest in hard leather, a hint of Iphigenia’s status in Tauride as a priestess, and her participation in controversial ceremonies.
