 Following the successful organization of the 1st Theatre Festival of South-Eastern Europe entitled “Aspects on Ancient Drama”, which took place in Thessaloniki in the summer of 2007, bringing on stage eight contemporary aspects of ancient drama, the National Theatre of Northern Greece continues its efforts for an essential creative collaboration between the theatres of North-Eastern Europe.

 
 
 
 

 With its global reach and humane character, ancient drama offers a wide field for research, creative expression and fertile dialogue on political, social and existential topics for the countries of North-Eastern Europe which have recently been -- and are still being -- tried. With this in mind, the National Theatre of Northern Greece is organizing the 2nd Meeting of the Theatres of South-Eastern Europe, on December 15th and 16th 2007.

The meeting will be attended by the artistic directors and representatives of the following theatres:

Royal Theatre “Zetski dom” at Cetinje, Montenegro
National Theatre of Bucharest, Romania
National Theatre of Craiova “Marin Sorescu”, Romania

Aiming to create the right circumstances for artists and theatre theoreticians, for an essential and broader perusal, the NTNG is holding within the framework of the 2nd Meeting of the Theatres of South-Eastern Europe, the following events at the Theatre of Macedonian Studies:
