Santorini and Ariadne's Thread December 13, 2005 An extraordinary journey from Montreal to the Greek island of Santorini and Melbourne has brought a five-star show to the Adelaide Fringe. Talya Rubin is presenting Ariadne's Thread, a one-woman performance which is based on poems Rubin wrote during 10 months living alone in a cave house on Santorini. The house dug into the earth became a retreat for Rubin after a relationship break-up in her home of Montreal. The show is semi-autobiographical and in it there is a story of love gone wrong, and that is quite accurate, Rubin, 29, says. I wasn't exactly fleeing Montreal but Greece did become like a healing place, but the fact it was stunningly beautiful, and someone offered me a place to look after, also held me there. In exchange for the house, Rubin cared for the owner's animals – a dog, a cat and a donkey. Author : Travel to Santorini
