Katerina Evangelatos

EURIPIDES [?] RHESUS


Rhesus attributed to Euripides is based on Book 10 of the Iliad, forms the core of Katerina Evangelatos’ new production for the Athens Festival. Staged at Aristotle’s Lyceum, one of the three oldest ancient gymnasia in the city, this innovative performance transforms a walk into a theatrical event. The space of the Lyceum converses with the palimpsest of the city, the words of Euripides are heard interspersed with extracts from works by the philosopher of Stagira, and the members of the audience, themselves wanderers of a sort in this twilight walk, discover the timeless city-theatre.



Co-production Lycofos

The performance is held under the auspices of the Greek National Tourism Organisation (www.visitgreece.gr)


In Greek with English surtitles.
