About the Item
This original 1964 poster, designed by M. Katzourakis, was created to promote the Epidavros Festival, one of Greece’s most prestigious cultural events. Held at the ancient theater of Epidaurus, the festival is renowned for its performances of classical Greek tragedies and comedies, bringing ancient drama to life in one of the world’s most acoustically perfect theaters.
Katzourakis, a celebrated Greek designer and artist, was instrumental in shaping the visual identity of Greek cultural institutions during the mid-20th century. His design for the 1964 Epidavros Festival reflects the modernist aesthetics of the time, blending Greek heritage with contemporary graphic design elements. His work often combined minimalist compositions, bold typography, and symbolic imagery to convey the essence of the event while maintaining a timeless artistic quality.
The Epidavros Festival, established as part of Greece’s post-war cultural revival, has remained a centerpiece of theatrical excellence, attracting world-class directors, actors, and audiences from around the globe. The 1964 edition continued this tradition, featuring performances of Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes by leading Greek theater companies.
This rare original poster stands as a testament to the festival’s enduring legacy and the fusion of ancient and modern artistic expression. It remains an important collectible for those interested in Greek culture, theatrical history, and 20th-century graphic design.
