In ENGLISH

The Reawakening of the Gods is a dream-like voyage into the world of ancient Greek mythology. The stories being told take place in a time of fantasy that never existed – yet these tales were told 2600 years ago and have survived until today. In the show, the Gods of Olympus re-awake and reveal themselves to the eyes of the spectators.

The show was conceived to be performed in real archeological sites, ancient theaters, palaces, and museums, allowing the audience to experience these places in a new and revelatory way.
