Luka Lesson's Agapi

The Vault are lucky to have the great Luka Lesson reveal ancient types of love through rap, spoken word and music. Based on Plato's The Symposium, Agapi & Other Kinds of Love begins with Socrates telling a banquet of friends everything he learned from a mysterious lover named: Diotima. The gods then take the audience on a journey - collapsing time and space to arrive in modern-day Athens, where the two reincarnations of the Ancient lovers fall in love (again) in the midst of a riot. Luka Lesson's reputation as one of Australia's best storytellers shines as he then takes you on a journey through the kinds of love: Eros, Filia, Filoxenia, Philautia, Storgi, Pragma and the ultimate: Agapi. Self-love, erotic love, familial love and more all collide with statues of Aphrodite, Molotov cocktails and the Parthenon's steps. Equal parts rap concert, poetic musical and classical history lesson, Agapi & Other Kinds of Love shows you how love prevails despite the trials and tribulations of the ages.
