EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a Greek chorus as it was brought to life on the early 1930s stage. Five young women, dressed in authentic Greek costumes, stand in a semi-circle, their faces expressive and engaged. The chorus, an integral part of ancient Greek theatre, served not only to provide musical interludes and commentary but also to represent the collective voice of the community. The racial types of these actresses, with their varied features and complexions, reflect the multiculturalism that was a hallmark of ancient Greek society. Their costumes, with flowing robes and intricate headdresses, are reminiscent of the elaborate attire worn by chorus members in ancient Greek vase paintings and sculptures. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a moment of historical theatre that has captivated audiences for centuries. The Greek chorus, with its powerful symbolism and evocative music, continues to be a source of inspiration for modern theatre and performance art. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring legacy of Greek theatre but also to the artistry and talent of the actresses who brought these ancient stories to life on the stage.
