The Laboratory of Ancient Drama and Theatre Research (L.AΝ.D.TΗΕ.RΕ.), the Theatre, Philosophy and Education Laboratory (THEATRONLAB), and the MA Program “Greek and World Theatre: Dramaturgy, Performance, Education” of the Department of Theatre Studies at NKUA organize a Research Workshop on the creative reception of ancient Greek fragmentary tragedy, within the framework of dr Andriana Domouzi’s postdoctoral research.
In the workshop, Euripides’ Protesilaus was examined as a case study, starting from the extant fragmentary material and its modern adaptations. Participants have the opportunity to engage creatively with the fragmentary material and experiment with methods of reconstruction and (small-scale) writing, combined with parallel reflection and theoretical investigation based on the practical process of reconstructing and theatrically adapting this uncharted mythological material.
Time-space: January 26, February 2, and February 9, 2026—from 19:30 to 21:30, at the NKUA School of Philosophy, Room 640.
