Athens Epidaurus Festival 2021 Programme

THEATRE PREMIERE 20 – 22 AUG
21:00
ANCIENT THEATRE
OF EPIDAURUS
For his sophomore appearance at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus,
director Aris Biniaris continues his research on ancient tragedy with
a new production of Prometheus Bound. The actors draw on the rhythmical
qualities of the poetic text, converting them into onstage action
through their bodies and voices. Against the backdrop of a pulsating,
live soundscape, the performers bring to life the characters of an ageold
but invariably timely story. “A story that can be perceived as a bleak
commentary on the present or as a bright hope for the future”, in the
director’s own words. Yannis Stankoglou portrays the title character, a
timeless symbol of resistance to power.
