Ειρήνη Περιοδεία

Aristophanes' classic comedy Peace arrives at Damari Theatre as part of a nationwide tour, directed by Nikos Karathaanos with original adaptation, text and songs by Phoivos Delivorias. This production presents the ancient play as a vibrant, political response to war, employing music, collective spirit and folk celebration. Written during the Peloponnesian War but speaking to contemporary crises, the comedy reveals timeless mechanisms of endless conflict benefiting few while harming many. The new staging interprets Peace as a lost rural world's festival and popular rebellion against the irrationality of warfare. With its satirical wit and urgency, the production addresses ongoing cycles of violence and insecurity. The work's assertion that ordinary citizens can demand peace, even against those in power, remains absolutely timely in a world where invasions, violence and cynicism continue to be presented as inevitable.
