ERT opens a chapter of research into ancient drama by broadcasting the ERT2 series 'Ancient Drama'.

In each episode of the series, a different play is presented through the perspective and interpretative approach of a contemporary director or contributor to the theater, each time in the form of a free lesson-workshop.

In this manner, the series aims to create a new proposal for a set of programs focused on contemporary research and teaching of ancient drama. These programs are envisioned as meetings between active theater researchers and young actors within the framework of a public lesson, during which the theme, the development of the myth, the characters, and primarily the critical issues at stake in each of the works of our ancient dramatic heritage are explored.

Based on the decades-long misguided nationalist teaching and interpretation of Euripides' tragedy "Iphigenia in Aulis" in schools, director Thanasis Papageorgiou narrates and analyzes in front of teenage students and young actors the deeply anti-war character of the work, restoring the meaning of Euripides' own "cry" to the Athenian audience of his time for a tragic sacrifice that reflects, if nothing else, the total madness of power and war.
