روایت خاورمیانه 
At the Royal Stratford East Theatre in London, the play "Bloodsport: After Helen of Troy" by Ava Pict addresses deep and controversial topics. The story begins with the return of Helen of Troy, the main character of the play, to a world full of scandal and violence. She arrives in a living room reminiscent of modern, glamorous life, and this space is clearly inspired by the social and cultural transformations in England today.
Violence and Misogyny in the New World
In this play, Helen becomes a kind of victim of circumstances arising from civil war and social unrest. Angry men resort to violence due to Helen's decision to leave her husband, Marcus, and move towards a "strange" man. Meanwhile, a character acting as a messenger serves as a chorus, introducing the audience to the events and new developments in England.
In this living room, belonging to C, Helen's best friend, men enter with a trembling Helen to celebrate their victory by drinking Prosecco. This scene is a display of the contrast between the apparent beauties and the inner ugliness of the modern world, where violence and misogyny are clearly felt.
Preview of the Future of Theatre
The Royal Stratford East Theatre will host art lovers with this play until October 10. This work clearly demonstrates how classic legends can be utilized to address contemporary issues and challenges, depicting them in a new and engaging context.
