Can a glass of fresh fruit juice assist in the natural regeneration of a lean musculature? Do the sulfites in wine interfere with the body's repair process? Ivi seeks answers to these crucial questions from the sanctuary of her kitchen, under the watchful gaze of the enigmatic Fren. Like a modern-day alchemist, Ivi searches for the ideal formula for eternal youth. Perhaps if she adds a few drops of travel memories and guilty pleasures to her recipe and whizzes them together in a high-tech mixer, she will be able to make time stand still. Or perhaps not. Finding the perfect formula demands effort, brings pain, and leaves casualties. But there is no higher art form than the pursuit of everlasting vitality.

After Wolfgang and Vitrioli, Yannis Mavritsakis returns to the National Theatre of Greece with a new play (that also marks his directing debut), in which he vividly portrays the innermost human desire for immortality. It is a paradoxical comedy that promises to take us on a journey through space and time and carry us into the realms of the collective imagination, and maybe even into the stratosphere of eternity.
