The Titan Prometheus, progenitor and champion of humankind, has stolen fire from Mount Olympus, giving rise to human civilization. As punishment, he is doomed by Zeus to spend eternity chained to a mountaintop, where Prometheus rails against the gods and all the world's injustices. Witness the timeless tragedy—and victory—of the prisoner who refuses to be silent in the face of tyranny.
Of the surviving ancient Greek dramas,Prometheus Bound is one of the most beautifully written, theatrically unique, and theologically profound. It has also proved one of the most notoriously challenging to translate and present to contemporary audiences. This year's Annual Outdoor Theater Production at the Getty Villa marks the world premiere of poet Joel Agee's faithful, impassioned new translation in a highly innovative staging by the visionary artists of CalArts' Center for New Performance.
