Closing Celebration

Dances of the Peloponnese


The Epidaurus Festival pays tribute to the music and dances of the Peloponnese.


Inspired by the musical beat 7/8, which can be traced back to Aristophanes and the ancient Tsakonikos ritual dance, the Epidaurus Festival will pay tribute to the rich musical and dance tradition of the Peloponnese region of southern Greece, a timeless treasure trove of identity and historical memory. The orchestra of the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus will be transformed into an aloni or chorostasi, a place for dance and celebration that will welcome modern-day symposiasts, singers, instrumentalists, and dancers from the Peloponnese. An open invitation for participation in the rituals of ancient Greek feasts. 


Admission allowed for children under the age of 6
