M Y T H O S ?! is an International Drama Competition and Festival, established in 2021 by Theater Regensburg in cooperation with the National Theatre of Northern Greece. While Greek ancient tragedies seem to have forever shaped what we in Europe know as ‘theatre’, contemporary Greek authors are underrepresented in the artistic programs of German theatres.Therefore, M Y T H O S ?! aims to emphasize new narratives, diverse perspectives and innovative dramaturgies, wishes to explore Greek theatre texts and get a closer view to the ways of their composition. In cooperation with the National Theater of Northern Greece, in Thessaloniki, Theater Regensburg will organize a competition for contemporary Greek drama, under the direction of Klaus Kusenberg (Artistic Director Theater Regensburg). A renowned bi-national Greek-German jury will nominate the best texts, of which the winning play’s world premiere will be staged at Theater Regensburg, framed by a rich parallel program connecting Regensburg and Thessaloniki in cyberspace, with the help of the Greek creative agency ArtBOX Creative Arts Management.
