Ancient Theatre of Philippi
Wednesday, 31st July, at 21.30
The successful performance “Ajax,” directed by Giorgos Nanouris, which thrilled both audiences and critics, will be presented on Wednesday, 31st July at 21:30 at the Ancient Theatre of Philippi as part of the 67th Philippi Festival.
Michalis Sarantis delivers a stunning performance, playing all nine roles of the tragedy, while Apostolos Chantzaras interacts with him by painting in front of the audience.
Ajax, the greatest warrior in the Greek camp, is entitled to Achilles’ armor after his death. When these end up with Odysseus through treachery, Ajax decides to seek revenge. However, he becomes a pawn of the goddess Athena and the laughingstock of the Argive army. Dishonored and desperate, he takes his own life.
