In Agapi & Other Kinds of Love, Greek-Australian poet Luka Lesson draws on his heritage to search unflinchingly for the meanings of love of Ancient Greece.   

Luka's reputation as one of Australia's best storytellers shines as he then takes us on a journey through the kinds of love: Eros, Filia, Filoxenia, Philautia, Storgi, Pragma and the ultimate: Agapi.   

Equal parts rap concert, poetic musical and classical history lesson, Agapi & Other Kinds of Love shows us how love prevails despite the trials and tribulations of the ages.  

‘What stunned me was the use of contemporary in a traditional storytelling mode. The best part was the way modern and ancient/traditional influences collided into a glorious spectacle of story, song, colour and sound. Simply magical.’
