From 15 to 30 July two large-scale theatrical productions of Aeschylus’ works − one Greek and one international − by leading artists, a concert with distinguished musical ensembles as well as an academic symposium on Aeschylus and the concepts governing this special stage genre, in the presence of prominent guests, will create an informal but explosive debate on ancient drama, which always remains alive and crucial to contemporary issues of justice, humanism, and politics, ANA reports.
The emergence of an institution for the concept of Law in the history of Europe, the work that introduced the Areopagus as a term, a concept, and an institution in history, EUMENIDES (The Furies) will be directed by Angela Brouskou at the Old Oil Mill Factory Amphitheatre on 15 & 16 July. The same venue, on 23 July, will host the concert Iannis Xenakis: Oresteïa by the Athens State Orchestra, with the participation of the Greek Radio Choir, the City of Athens Choir, and the Kodály Conservatory Children’s Choir, and the following day, on 24 July, the Conference on Ancient Drama curated by Dio Kaggelari. Finally, on 29 & 30 July, the work Persians – a journey in the array of souls, a play with elements of performance, directed by Nikita Milivojević, will start from the port of Perama, Megaris, at sunset, will take us on board to Salamina and finally, following nightfall, to a deserted area of the island overlooking the place where the ancient conflict took place.
