Arête /əˈrɛt,əˈreɪt/
An ancient greek concept, referring to “excellence” of any kind — especially a person or thing’s “full realization of potential or inherent function.” The term may also refer to excellence in “moral virtue.”
The festival is designed to be inspired by and created in response to a singular quote, selected each year by the Dionysus Theatre team.
Arête’s quote for 2024 has been selected as the following:
“I longed for one person to see past what society told me I was, or what I never would be, and to see me, as me.” – Chloe Hayden – Australian actor, author, and speaker.
The role of Resident Artist/Performer for Arête provides a huge scope of possibility to individual artists. Use the theme quote as a launching point for any artistic endeavour you desire, and perform/be displayed alongside local playwrights and performers.
