Timofei Kulyabin Iphigenia in Aulis

by Euripides

Euripides' Iphigenia in Aulis directed by the internationally acclaimed Timofei Couliabin, a production of the Athens Epidaurus Festival attended by more than 15,000 spectators at Epidaurus, comes on 09 and 10 September at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.




The world premiere of the show moved the audience by sending a timely anti-war message. Kouliabin's contemporary directorial approach, full of suspense, emotion, humor and dynamism, created an imposing atmosphere, while the performances of the distinguished actors enchanted the audience.

A tyrannical country is attacking a country seeking independence. To start the war requires an unimaginable sacrifice: a father must murder his daughter. Family betrayal and relentless power are intertwined on stage under a contemporary context that is very reminiscent of the reality we live in.

With Greek and English surtitles.

A unique opportunity for viewers as the show will not be touring!
