The play, performed by the Leonidas Loizidis Theatrical Group, has been touring the United States with performances in all major cities. The performance in Downey will be the only one in Southern California. The play recently received the United Nations Best Off-Broadway Theatrical Performance Award 2010. It has been playing at the Kirk Theater in New York since September.
“Oresteia” will be performed in Greek with English supertitles and will be preceded by a one-time vocal performance by the famous Cypriot singer/songwriter Alexia. A wine & cheese reception will follow the performance where the attendees will have the chance to meet the performers and the director.
This is the second ancient Greek tragedy performance that is sponsored by the American Hellenic Council in Southern California. The first one was the play of “Troades” in November 2009. It was an outstanding success and attracted more than 400 viewers.
