“Aias” by Sophocles, the performance that thrilled the audience and critics, with Michalis Sarantis and Apostolos Handzaras, directed by Giorgos Nanouris, comes at 9.30 on the evening of Thursday 18 July at the Municipal Summer Theater of Patras for the International Festival.
Michalis Sarantis shockingly interprets all nine roles of the tragedy, while Apostolos Handzaras converses with him while drawing, in front of the spectators’ eyes.
Aeandas, the greatest warrior in the Greek camp, is entitled to Achilles’ weapons following his death. When these intrigues end up with Odysseus, he decides to take revenge. But he becomes the pride of the goddess Athena and the laughingstock of the Argive army. Dishonored and desperate, he kills himself.
The translation was done by the poet Nikos A. Panagiotopoulos.
