Dionysus in Exile: The Theatre of Theodoros Terzopoulos
International Conference organised by the Dept. of Theatre Studies, Freie Universität Berlin
Griechische Kulturstiftung Berlin, Germany
For more than thirty years, Theodoros Terzopoulos has been producing a deeply political theatre, characterized by a persistent resistance against established norms and perceptions of body, space and meanings. In their performances, Terzopoulos and the Attis Theatre employ disconcerting tactics, seek to destabilize and create ambivalence. Terzopoulos stages the representational instability as an uprooting and aims at a theatre in wandering that deprives the objects from their trivial positions and settings and mobilizes feelings of inquietude. As the familiar is absent, significations become suspended allowing the development of multifocal and centrifugal arrangements. In this sense, Terzopoulos’ theatre is in exile.
This symposium explored the wandering of Terzopoulos and his theatre in space and time, in order to describe the way in which the director and his theatre destabilizes the given and displaces forms and significations, to think about the “aesthetics of the exile” as a political act of entrenchment of the unfamiliar.

Etel Adnan gave a talk on the work of Theodoros Terzopoulos.

3rd International Meeting of Ancient Drama
Municipality of Sikyonion
Attis Theatre
The municipality of Sikyonion was organizing the 3rd International Meeting of Ancient Drama aspiring for it to be as successful as the past two meetings.
“It is our belief that establishing top cultural events and institutions contributes in our community’s development in various ways. It creates the conditions for artistic expression and creates artists, scientists, intellectuals, helping at the same time the development of local artistic forces through workshops, actions etc. Through the organization of such artistic events, we come closer to our goal, to make our archeological spaces and the Ancient Theatre of Sikyon better known. We invite you all to support these unique events.”
—Spyros Stamatopoulos
