Katerina Evangelatos

Idomeneus
by Roland Schimmelpfennig



Following on from her Golden Dragon (National Theatre of Greece, 2010), Katerina Evangelatos undertakes the Greek premiere of another work by Roland Schimmelpfennig. This time, the award-winning German author is inspired by the myth of Idomeneus. Returning from the Trojan War, the king of Crete is swept up into a terrible storm. Facing death, he vows a human sacrifice to the gods, but in so doing, without meaning to, he puts his son’s life in danger.
In the production, a cast of ten men and women including Akilas Karazisis, Yiannis Dalianis, Alexandra Pantelaki, Pantelis Dentakis, Amalia Ninou, Iro Bezou and Sofia Kokkali undertakes to narrate before a hundred people’s eyes alternative versions of the story as it could have unfolded. “A turning point in the evolution of contemporary dramaturgy and a challenge for the director” is how Katerina Evangelatos describes Idomeneus, her first collaboration with the Athens Festival.
