As countries around the world are still exploring ways to restart theater in the post- COVID era, and as most festivals across Europe have been unfortunately canceled this year, the Athens and Epidaurus Festival will still take place, albeit in a condensed form, titled "Fragment," adhering to the strictest safety measures.
The play is in Greek with English subtitles and lasts approximately 90 minutes.
It will be streamed through https://www.livefromepidaurus.gr/ and will also be available at the websites of the National Theatre of Greece, the Athens and Epidaurus Festival and the Ministry of Culture and Sports, as well as the National Theatre of Greece’s YouTube channel.
