Athens Epidaurus Festival 2021 Programme

THEATRE
PREMIERE
2 – 4 JUL 21:00
ANCIENT THEATRE
OF EPIDAURUS
What does it mean to be an exile, a foreigner, an outsider? How does one
escape one’s past and fate? Euripides wrote Iphigenia in Tauris in the aftermath
of the destructive Peloponnesian War, during a period of crisis
not unlike ours today, celebrating the greatness of love between siblings
and the high values that were becoming extinct. For this production,
marking his directorial debut at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, Yorgos
Nanouris is joined by a strong cast of performers – including popular
singer Haris Alexiou –, drawing attention to the concepts and allure of
this unique tragedy in an effective and subtle manner.
