In Zahlen
Rini Kiryazi, the new artistic director of the State Theater of Ioannina (DIPETHE) in Yanya, Greece, is preparing to stage Shakespeare's classic work Romeo and Juliet with a unique perspective. The new adaptation, titled 'Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night,' tells the story of a group of worker actors who build a stage from scratch in an abandoned theater. Kiryazi describes this production both as a tribute to theater and a powerful critique of contemporary society.
Kiryazi strongly criticized the state's approach to culture and art, emphasizing that the current conditions are unsustainable. Stating that authorities only take profit-oriented values seriously, the director expressed their demand for not only financial but also dignified treatment of arts institutions. She added that artists aim to turn the theater stage into a sanctuary for those crushed under the weight of daily life.
Noting that it is no coincidence the premiere of the play will take place at the ancient Dodona Theater in Yanya, Kiryazi stated that they aim to strengthen institutional and cultural ties with this venue. Relating the themes of hatred and violence in Shakespeare's work to today's sick society, the director emphasized that the value of life cannot be a subject of negotiation by recalling the tragic end of many young people. The premiere of the production will take place on 20 July, followed by a summer tour.
