From the 26th of June to the 2nd of July, three cultural venues (Vault, Calderone, ISON) and their artistic groups, with a long history in the cultural landscape of Athens and great public appeal, opened their doors for this year’s MELENIKOY ARTS FESTIVAL under the motto: CULTURE FOR ALL!
A 7-day celebration of culture under the auspices of the Municipality of Athens, with simultaneous interpretation in Greek sign language for all events. THEAMA, a professional inclusive theatre group, presented three performances on three different days. The performances were developed from the rehearsals of the European project D.I.V.A. – Creative Europe, a few days before the shooting of the digital production “The Trojan Women”.
Specifically, on Monday 26 June, the performance entitled “The Trojan Women: Voices of the Sea” (see photos) based on the Cassandra Chorus scene, on 27 June the performance “The Trojan Women: the Common” (see video) based on the Menelaus – Helen scene and on 30 June the performance “The Trojan Women: The Last Earth” (see video), based on the Hecuba – Talthybius scene.
All three creations were enthusiastically received by the audience, who requested that they be repeated in the 2023-2024 season at the ISON Theatre.
The performances were attended by more than 200 people.
