ANDROMACHE by EURIPIDES tour
2025-08-03 21:00 - 23:00 | Kalamata Open Theatre
” Andromache” will go on a major summer tour throughout Greece , with a premiere on Saturday, July 19 at the Delphi Open Air Theater “Phrynichos”.
A unique acting ensemble plays the roles of the remaining tragic figures: Argyris Xafis plays Andromache, Tasos Lekkas plays Hermione, Yiannis Dalianis plays Menelaus and Dimitris Piatas plays Peleus. In the role of Thetis we will see Stella Ghika , while the dance is supported by Dimitris Georgiadis , Dimitris Mamios , Konstantinos Passas , Giorgos Fasoulas, Yiannis Manthos and Nontas Damopoulos .
The tragedy of Euripides
We are transported far from the big centers, to the Greek countryside. Thessaly, Phthiotis, Thetideion. To the house of Achilles’ son, Neoptolemus. There we witness the dramatic conflict between two women: Andromache, widow of Hector and slave of Neoptolemus, and Hermione, wife of Neoptolemus. Hermione, full of jealousy and envy, accuses Andromache that because of her, Neoptolemus no longer loves her and does not wish to have a child with her, while he already has a child with Andromache. The conflict reaches its extremes when Menelaus, the king of Sparta and father of Hermione, decides to kill Andromache’s child, thus carrying out one of the most extreme acts of revenge and arrogance.
