Unveiling Gun Violence in Ancient Drama — The Guns and Roses Perspective: Little Trackers at the Children’s Creative
Workshop in Epidaurus
(4th Primary School of Nafplio, Greece)
Abstract: In addressing the issue of gun violence in American schools, this article aims to focus on prevention rather than treatment. Starting from this critical issue in the school environment, where the new generation of Americans is blossoming, the paper introduces the Little Trackers team, which has been active in the field of research for the last eight years through the Children’s Creative Workshop in Epidaurus, using Educational Drama as its main tool. Little Trackers discusses the issue through the dynamics of an ancient theatrical text, such as Sophocles’ Ajax, and offers its own perspective based on the question: does the use of guns require good judgement or strong muscles?
Key words: little trackers, drama in education, theatre, ajax by Sophocles, creative workshop in Epidaurus, guns and roses, Athens Epidaurus Festival
