Helen was not the reason of the slaughter.. The slaughter was caused by the gods.. Zeus wanted to relieve humanity of the mass of people and Hera wanted to take revenge from Paris because he gave the beuaty trophy to Aphrodite. And she constructed Helen's idol. This idol is what followed him to Troy. This idol was the reason why so many heroes were killed. This idol was the reason why Troy was lost... An ambitious production, a show using music (live & recorded) dance (Tango & contemporary dance), dramaturgy and narration as means of expression, inspired by the renowned "Helen" of Euripides. TangoVoz…💃💃💃 17 artists with distinct personalities, “TangoVoz”, the company whose artistic direction is signed by Dionisis Theodoropoulos and Chloe Theodoropoulou, join their forces to create an extravagant show, full of versality, inspiration and explosion. Their driving force: the need and desire for creation and expression.
