Programme for Attending the Ancient Tragedy of Euripides “Iphigenia in Aulis” at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus

PROGRAMME

TO ATTEND THE TRAGEDY OF EURIPIDES

“IPHIGENIA IN AULIS”

FRIDAY 19 AUGUST 2022

19/08/2022 – Friday: Departure from Kolokotroni Square at 18:30 p.m. to arrive at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus and attend the tragedy of Euripides “Iphigenia in Aulis”. In the tragedy Iphigenia in Aulis, the central heroine dies for a futile and disastrous expansionist war. A society in decline sacrifices Iphigenia, who embodies an entire generation of young people. Twenty years after the Peloponnesian War, Euripides seems to wonder: is a change of paradigm possible? Two and a half thousand years later, as we face the first signs of a dystopian future, we still wonder: is it possible for things to change? Themis Moumoulidis creates a performance that reflects on the past, present and future, using the new translation of the work by Panagiota Pantazi. The performance features a comprehensive musical work by composer Stavros Gasparatos, who is inspired by the figure of Iphigenia, creating a parallel narrative, in dialogue with the direction. The tragedy begins at 21:00 p.m. and after its completion we return to Tripoli.
