Exhibition: “Greece, Pathways to an Enchanted Land” 8

📖🇬🇷 Remembering Yannis Ritsos (1909–1990)

On this day, 11 November 1990, Greece lost one of its greatest poets, Yannis Ritsos, a literary voice whose words continue to resonate across generations and borders.

A poet of extraordinary sensitivity and human depth, Ritsos gave voice to freedom, dignity, love, suffering and hope. Deeply rooted in Greek history and human experience, his poetry earned him international recognition and a lasting place in world literature.

His words remain timeless, reminding us of the enduring power of poetry to inspire, challenge and move the human spirit.

🕊️ His voice may have fallen silent, but his poetry lives on

🇬🇷🎭 Katerina Evangelatos’ Hippolytus Captivates Audiences in China

More than 2,500 spectators applauded the performances of Hippolytus, directed by Katerina Evangelatos, at the prestigious Wuzhen International Theatre Festival, near Shanghai, China.

The Greek production brought the festival to a spectacular close, receiving enthusiastic applause, loud cheers and a prolonged standing ovation for the cast and creative team.

✨ A co-production of the National Theatre of Greece and Lykofos Cultural Organisation, led by George Lykiardopoulos, the production travelled to China with the support of the Greek National Tourism Organisation (GNTO) and IPTO.

A remarkable moment for Greek theatre and a celebration of the power of ancient Greek drama to transcend borders, connect cultures and inspire audiences around the world.
