Lavrynthos places you at the heart of the labyrinth of Crete to tell you the story of the unlikely relationship between the Minotaur and his next meal: a girl named Cora. A contemporary Greek tragedy paying homage to the cradle of modern dramatic theory while challenging it at the same time. Lavrynthos is a humorous take on a 3000 years old myth updating it with themes and topics that are relevant in this day and age. Lavrynthos makes use of an innovative way of moving the player throughout the story by transforming a 2x2m area in an infinite non-euclidean maze that can shift space and time. Lavrynthos messes up with your sense of direction, space and balance and aims to connect with people that might have felt lost in the last couple of years.
