Peiraikon Theatron

Peiraikon Theatro was founded in 1957. Following a short period of appearances in the Municipal Theatre of Piraeus, the company embarked on a series of tours abroad, exclusively with performances of ancient Greek drama: Aeschylus’ The Libation Bearers, Eumenides and The Persians, Sophocles’ Electra, Euripides’ Hippolytus, Medea and Iphigeneia in Aulis.

Until 1968 Peiraikon Theatron had toured in almost all Europe and America, had taken part in important international festivals and had been globally recognized.
