The Cultural Agenda: August

The last month of summer is full of music, dance, theatre and art. Ancient theatres and archaeological sites host artists from Greece and abroad and welcome visitors seeking a little breath of culture under the August moon. On the other hand, art mansions and galleries open their doors to works that will take us on a journey into the past and make us reflect on the present.

Let’s see what’s on the cultural agenda for August.

Phoenissae by Euripides, Epidaurus Ancient Theatre

Featuring a splendid team of performers and actors under the helm of director and dramatist Yannis Moschos, Euripides’ Phoenissae returns to Epidaurus in a modern version. Can the sons of Oedipus escape their father’s curse? Do people really want to avoid civil strife and break the cycle of blood? All will be answered at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus.

Valkyrie, Ancient Theatre of Magalopolis

After the Lyric Stage and the Athens Concert Hall, Themelis Glinatsis takes a stroll through Megalopolis to present the first act of Richard Wagner’s Valkyrie. The play comes to life for the first time in an ancient theatre. Wagner draws on a fascinating Norse myth to explore love and revolution, toxic masculinity and family violence. The incorporation of live film and animation excites the imagination and creates a mosaic of experiences, desires and ideologies in conflict. Ancient Theatre of Megalopolis, 03-04.08.2021, 21:30
