Greek satirical play summer tour

Overview

The satirical comedy play ‘Karyatida!’, written by Giorgos Kapoutzidis and directed by Katerina Mavrogeorgi, is conducting a summer tour across Greece. The production explores contemporary Greek reality through political and social satire, specifically focusing on the return of a ‘lost sixth Caryatid’ and the intersection of national emotion with political paranoia.

The tour included a performance at the Ancient Theatre of Philippi on August 12 as part of the 69th Festival of Philippi. The production features music by Larry Gus and design by Artemis Flessa and Ifigeneia Dountaki, with a cast including Asimina Anastasopoulou, Stelios Iakovidis, Stelios Xanthoudakis, Agoritsa Oikonomou, Drosos Skotis, Stamatis Fakorelis, and Maria Filini.

On August 27, the play was performed at the Summer Municipal Theatre of Patras as part of the Patras International Festival, an event organized in cooperation with ARK Productions and the National Theatre of Greece. Local officials, including Deputy Mayors Pavlos Skouras and Athina Kallimani-Georgitsopoulou, attended the Patras performance. The tour also included a scheduled stop at the ‘G. Pappas’ theater in Aigio on August 28.
