A number of masterpieces of ancient Greek theater are revived every week at the Acropolis Museum in Athens, as part of 'The Stones Speak' cultural programme. The theater performances feature texts of Greek ancient literature in three languages – Greek, English, French.
The performances will be held until the end of October 2019 at the Acropolis Museum every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 1pm with free admission.
The ideas and symbols that Greece inherited in humanity and defined the history of thought and art, as well as heroes of the past, all come alive through the 'The Stones Speak' cultural programme. The aim is to highlight the Greek cultural heritage to the maximum including “The Preface to the Odyssey” (in a solo performance), excerpts from Pericles “The Epitaph”, from Sophocles’ “Antigone”, Aristotle’s “Rhetoric”, Palatine Anthology, Plato’s “Symposium” and the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite. Especially at the Acropolis Museum will be the “Prayer on the Acropolis” by Ernest Renan.
With the presentation of the events at the Acropolis Museum, 'The Stones Speak' programme completes this year’s events, which began in July with the Byzantine and Christian Museum and continued in September at the Ancient Agora.
The 'The Stones Speak' is in its third year and is now established as an institution for Athens, honoured by the Greek Festival, which included them in its “Opening up to the City” programme.
The production of the 'The Stones Speak' was organized by “Smartconcepts”.
