Theatre plays at the Oanssis Foundation
This season, major international artists and emerging Greek creators will direct the theatrical productions at the Onassis Foundation, which are part of a broader program dedicated to the human need for connection and love. The season kicks off dynamically with the 24-hour project “The Second Woman” (October 5), an internationally acclaimed theatrical, sociological, and psychological experiment conceived and directed by Nat Randall and Anna Breckon, two rising Australian creators showcasing their work in Greece for the first time.
Following this is another intercultural project: the collaboration with internationally renowned Portuguese director Tiago Rodrigues, who will direct Greek actors for the first time. One of the most talked-about directors of the new generation, Giorgos Koutlis, will direct Oxygen by Ivan Vyrypaev (from November 21). Vyrypaev’s “Oxygen,” a manifesto from the 2000s, is presented as an antidote to the “psychopolitical suffocation” of Generation Z, with a cast of 25 performers in a spiritual rave experience.
In his first collaboration with Stegi, Marios Banousis, a promising new director who made a splash with “Goodbye, Lindita” at the National Theatre’s Experimental Stage, will present Mami (from February 6, 2025). This production is a tribute to all the women who raised us, a performance honoring the women who nourished us, and a visual poem about the mother-child relationship.
Romeo Castellucci returns to Stegi with Berenice (March 26-30), a production loosely inspired by the classical drama of the same name by Racine. The renowned Italian iconoclast directs Isabelle Huppert and 14 men in a work exploring the madness, truth, and lies of loving and being loved.
