“Iphigenia in Aulis” directed by Timofey Kulyabin for the Athens Epidaurus Festival at Odeon of Herodes Atticus

After the masterful Three Sisters (2018), which will always be remembered for the complete rendition of Chekhov’s play in sign language, the internationally acclaimed director Timofey Kulyabin returns to the Athens Epidaurus Festival, which had introduced him to the Greek audience. Worldwide appreciated for his exceptional poetic perspective, the Germany-based director will be opening this year’s performances at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus with the Festival’s international production of Iphigenia in Aulis by Euripides.

Prominent Greek actors and actresses are to give flesh and bone to this stellar artistic project. Iphigenia in Aulis will have its world premiere at Epidaurus. Designed exclusively for the Argolic theatre, this long-awaited production ingeniously brings together a foreign director with Greek performers once again, further consolidating the Festival’s international and extrovert character that is consciously being pursued over the past years.
