National Theatre of Greece—Theodoros Terzopoulos
Oresteia
By Aeschylus
Aeschylus’ iconic trilogy, Oresteia, directed by Theodoros Terzopoulos—in the first collaboration of the internationally celebrated director and teacher with the National Theatre—stands as one of the most remarkable achievements in recent Greek theatre history. Following its triumphant tour at select locations, this landmark performance returns to the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus on August 22 & 23, drawing the curtain for this year’s Epidaurus cycle.
In the hands of Theodoros Terzopoulos, Oresteia becomes a performance of profound intellectual and philosophical depth that, through its astonishing energy, broadens the boundaries of art and, ultimately, recounts the history of humanity itself. Both a political gesture and a multidimensional spiritual experience, the play was enthusiastically embraced by the thousands of spectators who witnessed it, as well as by national and international media.
Following its premiere at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus in 2024, its tour across Greece and Cyprus, and its presentation in Vicenza, Italy, where it inaugurated the 77th Ciclo di Spettacoli Classici at the historical Teatro Olimpico, this unique performance returns to the place where it commenced its fascinating journey to offer all of us the opportunity to relive it one more time.
