About the Item

This 1969 original poster by N. Kodos was created for the Athens and Epidaurus Festival, one of Greece’s most prestigious cultural events. The design features an ancient terracotta sculpture of three bearded figures, likely representing actors or musicians from antiquity, set against a dramatic black background. The bold Greek typography (ΦΕΣΤΙΒΑΛ ΑΘΗΝΩΝ) at the top enhances the historical and cultural significance of the festival. Founded in 1955, the Athens and Epidaurus Festival is renowned for its performances in some of the world’s most spectacular ancient venues, including the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens and the Epidaurus Ancient Theatre, known for its exceptional acoustics. Each summer, the festival brings together world-class theater, opera, dance, and music performances, celebrating both Greek classical heritage and contemporary international productions. The poster’s imagery pays homage to Greece’s deep-rooted theatrical traditions, evoking the spirit of ancient drama and Dionysian festivities. The textured, expressive faces of the sculptures create a timeless connection between the past and the present, reinforcing the festival’s mission to honor Greek heritage while fostering artistic innovation. For collectors and art enthusiasts, this vintage festival poster is a rare and striking piece, embodying the grandeur of Greek culture and the enduring power of classical performance arts.
