Approach of the Comic
Theatre of the Society for Macedonian Studies

The National Theatre of Northern Greece organizes the
2nd Meeting of Young Artists of Southeast Europe entitled « Ancient Drama and Politics. Approach of the Comic»
from 22
nd
to 29
th
September 2018 as part of the
International Network of Ancient Drama
of the
Greek Ministry of Culture
.
During the
1
st
Meeting
we went through various possibilities of approaching Ancient Drama while reaching the limits of the texts. The 2
nd
Meeting’s main topic will be the approach of the Comic element and the way it is being used not only in comedies but tragedies as well. Starting with Aristophanes we will try to identify a link between the ancient tradition and contemporary use of Comic, highlighting its political dimension. During the Meeting we are going to investigate the comic element in certain situations, the way it is represented by various characters, as well as by different stage techniques. Moreover, new perspectives and correlations with the contemporary social and political reality will emerge.
During one week, a series of workshops and lectures will be held and performances will be presented, aiming at modern views and approaches of the Comic. The whole enterprise will be realized through the collaboration of various artists coming from diverse cultural backgrounds, while the final presentation of this cooperation will be open to the public.
The Meeting is subsidized by the
Greek Ministry of Culture
as part of the
International Network of Ancient Drama
.
