Synopsis "Fluid"

The passion of the Ancient Greek stage unmasked... a fast-paced journey with a rising young actor whose art becomes a search for the causes of war and the nature of love. Aleta tries to find contentment facing her loom, worshipping Artemis, and bending to her father's will. But on the road to an arranged marriage to an old admiral, she steals her brother Paris's clothes and identity. The newly transformed Paris finds refuge in a regional theatre company. In Ancient Greece, all acting and chorus roles are played by men. Accepted as a man, the emerging actor is lauded for an extraordinary ability to play women in the theatre company's anti-war play. In the shadow of Athens's war with Sparta, Paris harnesses the power of theatre to sway men to choose peace. Profoundly stirring, this adventure through raging seas and battles, to the Temple of Delphi and the Dionysian stage, is an alluring coming-of-age story, a comedy of love and marriage, and a clash between the rational mind and the human heart.
