Κατ’ όναρ ή Ιαµατική τέχνη: Μια περιπατητική παράσταση στο Ασκληπιείο Επιδαύρου

Abstract

"Because of a dream" or The Art of Healing a peripatetic performance at the
Asklepieion in Epidaurus based on an idea by Georgina Kakoudaki
(director/dramaturg), Diogenis Verigakis (architect) and Stavros Papagiannis (interior
space architect). An inverted narrative starting from the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus
to the exit of the archaeological area, from dusk until dawn. This proposal concerns
the use of the auxiliary spaces of the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus and other
buildings of Asklepieion, utilizing the memories of the area's ruins and the embossed
natural environment. The aim is to reflect the real functioning of these spaces through
a theatrical employment of the narration of dreams, which the patients once shared
with the priests of Asklepieion.
