Iphigenia in Avlidis directed by Themis Moumoulidis at the Badminton theater

It started impressively in Athens, filling up the Petra Theater and continued to sell out continuously
in the cities where it is played, from B. Greece to Crete and the Peloponnese. Iphigeneia in Euripides' Aulidis, directed by Themis Moumoulidis in a production of the 5th AGE OF ART, in collaboration with DI.PE.THE. Verias, have been warmly applauded so far 50.000 viewers all over Greece highlighting it in the great success of this summer.

The tour ends in Athens with three performances at the Badminton Theatre, where the scenery will be adapted specifically for a closed space.

At 13, 14 and 15 September the Athenian audience will have the opportunity to enjoy a troupe of elite protagonists in a performance that brings to the fore the tragically relevant concept of sacrifice.

Euripides' Iphigeneia in Aulidis is one of the leading texts of the ancient Greek treatise, it is a deeply political text, an ironic and at the same time tragic comment on the subject of political expediency. Iphigenia is a symbol of every sacrifice, it is the atoning victim of the political expediency of each era. Iphigenia doesn't just sacrifice her life, but mainly, he sacrifices, her innocence as she is summoned almost instantly, to realize the mercilessness of this world.

The show...

"The performance attempts a contemporary stage reading of the text, in a poetic visual environment, with the modern musical arrangement of K. Beta. A shot. Darkness. A woman dead. Somewhere near a beach. A set of female death witnesses, are interrogated. Suicide or murder. Dance takes on a face, every woman expresses herself differently. Chorals become the point of meeting and confrontation with history. The heroes are each looking for their own truth, each expressing a different world, which stubbornly refuses to coexist with the self-evident…

The concept of sacrifice takes on multiple dimensions. It is akin to murder…”

The show is being translated by K. X. FRAGRANCE, directing – text editing THEME MOUMOULIDI, scenery by GIORGOS PATS, PANAGIOTA KOKKOROU costumes, music by KONSTANTINOU VITA, lighting by NICOS SOTIROPOULOS.

They star:

WALNUT LEAVES OF KARABETI [Clytemnestra], STELIOS MAINAS [Agamemnon] IOANNA PAPPA [Iphigenia], MHNAS HATZISAVVAS [ambassador], YIANNIS STANKOGLOU [Achilles], ALEXANDRA SAKELLAROPOULOU [angel], ANGELOS BOURAS [Menelaus], LUKIA MICHALOPOULOU, MAROUSKA PANAGIOTOPOULOU, YANNA PAPAGEORGIOU, LENA PAPALEGOURA, ARETI PASCHALI.

RITA ANTONOPOULOU plays the leading role.

The story…

THE “Iphigenia in Avlidis”, is the penultimate work of Euripides. It fulfills the divine will of Artemis that Iphigenia be sacrificed, daughter of the king of Mycenae, Agamemnon, in order for fair winds to blow and the fleet of the Greeks to set sail for Troy.

The war is happening this time because Paris stole Menelaus' wife Helen, thus insulting Greece. The Greek fleet waits in Avlis for the winds to blow...

Agamemnon's initial decision to accept the oracle, in a state of confusion and panic and his false announcement of Iphigenia's marriage to Achilles in order to drive Iphigenia to the Court, it is soon recalled by him. However in the end, Agamemnon, despite the pleas of Clytemnestra and Iphigenia, decides the sacrifice. The Iphigenia, she is called in a moment to realize the irreversible change in her life. Weak and disgusted in the face of the army's violence, defenseless, and innocent,  decides, with an ironic speech that borders on sarcasm, to sacrifice himself voluntarily.

The sacrifice is decided! The campaign will begin… The story continues…

The question remains: Sacrifice or murder;
