On the occasion of an unforgettable theatre-maker’s 80th anniversary of birth, the Athens Epidaurus Festival hosts a three-day tribute to his memory. This endeavour includes the screening of Nea Skini’s legendary Antigone directed by Lefteri Voyatzis at Epidaurus in 2006, with him in the role of Creon and Amalia Moutoussi in the title role.
The screening that we will watch is a filmed version of the performance rerun at Epidaurus in 2007.
On June 22, the screening of the performance will be followed by a round-table discussion among artists and scholars on the indelible mark of this unique artist on contemporary Greek theatre.
