Having conducted a most thorough study of the terms in which ancient drama is narrated and represented indoors and on a small scale, Ektoras Lygizos now tackles the open-air dynamic of Epidaurus.

A noteworthy cast – Anna Mascha, Stefania Goulioti, Thanos Tokakis, Galini Hatzipaschali – take on the torment of Aeschylus’ hero: Prometheus, the archetypal opponent of tyranny who, having ignored the will of Zeus and stolen fire to give to Man, is taken by the State and by Force to a desolate place and nailed to a rock to be punished by the god, who unleashes thunder and lightning against him overwhelming the unrepentant Titan and his supporters, the Oceanids.
