THEATRE: “THE SUPPLIANTS” BY AESCHYLUS

Sixty years after its first presentation at Epidaurus, Aeschylus’ iconic tragedy was staged again, in a performance that highlights the deep roots of patriarchy and how they have defined the position of women in society from ancient times to the present day. The performance, directed by Marianna Calbari and performed by a distinguished cast including Lydia Koniordou, Akis Sakellariou, Giannis Tsortekis, Lena Papaligoura, and Loukia Michalopoulou, premiered in Delphi and is beginning its nationwide tour, which will culminate at the ancient theatre of Epidaurus.
