ATLAS E.P. for the 5th year at the Athens Epidaurus Festival

ATLAS E.P. continues its long-standing collaboration with the Athens Epidaurus Festival for the 5th consecutive year. This year, the Athens Epidaurus Festival celebrates 70 years of uninterrupted contribution to culture and invites us to contribute to the accessibility of the Festival like every year.

The Festival's artistic identity

A few words about the 70th Athens Epidaurus Festival:

The Athens Epidaurus Festival is Greece’s leading cultural organisation and one of the oldest continuously running festivals in Europe. Spanning 70 years, the Festival has welcomed some of the greatest music, dance, and theatre artists of the international and local scene, in collaboration with the most prestigious Greek and international organisations, attracting large audiences from around the world.

Up until 2005, the Festival had been held exclusively at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus. In the summer of 2006, five brand-new theatre stages were launched at the Peiraios 260 industrial venue which has since emerged as an important springboard for contemporary art. Artistic productions and site-specific performances are also presented at other venues in Attica and various locations in Greece as part of the Festival.

Seeking unconventional, alternative ways of showcasing the Festival venues is a key aspect of the Festival’s new philosophy. Along those lines, the Festival artistic events will from now on also be held during the winter, expanding the summer programme.
