The entertaining text of Thanasis Papathanasiou and Michalis Reppas, "Which Helen?" parodies the myth according to which Paris charmed and stole the beautiful Helen, causing the Trojan War. Reconstructing the mythological elements with materials of comedy and parody, the authors compiled a game for the relevance of beauty, acting on their history on both warring sides Greeks and Trojans.

It is a musical where the first place have the beauty and love. The authors modified the myth of the Trojan War and prepared a musical comedy. Did the Trojan War, may have been a comedy?

The "Which Helen?" was presented for the first time in March 2004 in Kotopouli Rex, produced by the National Theatre and directed by Thanasis Papathanasiou and Michalis Reppas. Due to the huge success of the show was repeated theatrical 2004-2005.

In the story, a bad teacher, speaks to students about the Trojan War and questions the beauty of Helen of myth. Does the beauty and ugliness eminently subjective so the famous myth "mutated". The story begins with the three goddesses, Hera, Athena and Aphrodite to quarrel about which is the most beautiful. The Paris gave the apple to Aphrodite and she promises him in return Helen. Hera upset with the choice of Paris and to avenge him, replacing Helen with the ugly cousin, Pefkida. What follows is really extremely interesting! The Pefkida named Helen manages to charm not only Paris, but all the Trojans, who take the ugliness to beauty.

The Musical-Comedy "Which Helen?" of Michalis Reppas and Thanasis Papathanasiou is an intelligent "parody" of Greek mythology, a musical, which will undoubtedly be loved by the people of Cyprus theatergoers. Away from the worries of everyday life, the audience will have the opportunity to laugh, to travel to the myth, to wonder, to reflect and entertain through a show that promises a lot!
