The National Theater and the Hellenic Foundation for Culture, in the context of the recently signed memorandum of cooperation, collaborate for the dynamic promotion of theatrical education and classical letters, as the main axes of Greek culture.
The starting point of the collaboration is the co-organization of the International Conference on Ancient Drama, on “The concept of Moral Debt in the Ancient Greek Theater”, which will take place on September 23, 24 and 25, at the National (Ziller building-event hall).
