Lee Miller in Hitler’s Bathtub at Athens Festival Peiraios 260
A nostalgic, slow-burn opera night.
Pireos 260, Ag. Ioannis Rentis 182 33, Greece
A tragic cantata presented by the Needcompany and Jan Lauwers. The work is not an autobiography, but an archetypal portrait of Lee Miller, the photographer who famously bathed in Hitler's Munich apartment on the day he committed suicide. The production explores themes of memory, trauma, and the female experience through music, ice sculpture, and historical photography. Featuring compositions by Maarten Seghers and libretto/direction by Jan Lauwers, the piece highlights the lives of women who claimed their existence in the shadow of prominent men and institutions, often fading into obscurity or inner turmoil while remaining self-luminous.
