Oresteia

by Aeschylus

Aeschylus’ iconic trilogy, Oresteia, directed by Theodoros Terzopoulos 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 manages by virtue of its astonishing energy to broaden the boundaries of art and, ultimately, recount the history of humanity itself. Both political gesture and multidimensional spiritual experience, the play was enthusiastically embraced by the thousands of spectators who witnessed it, as well as by the national and international media.

Following its premiere at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus in 2024, its touring across Greece and Cyprus, and its presentation at 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.

With Greek and English surtitles.
