Local Involvement in Modern Greek Revivals of Ancient Theatres: Delphi and Epidaurus in the Interwar Period Balaskas, Vasileios Teatros - Conservación y restauración - Grecia Local communities Authenticity National imagination Greek National Theatre Teatro Nacional de Grecia Teatro de Epidauro Local community participation in the revival of ancient theatres as venues in Greece shaped the dynamics of the cultural reception of inter-war performances at Delphi and Epidaurus. Here I analyse local involvement within and beyond the theatrical context of the Delphic Festivals, as well as the long-standing identification of the village of Ligourio with the theatre of Epidaurus. These relationships reflect distinctive dimensions of the clash between community-led and institutional archaeology, which dominated national discourse on authenticity and identity. At the same time, the prospects of economic development through tourism in such remote areas encouraged local receptiveness to the revival of ancient theatres. 2026-02-24T10:01:23Z 2021-02-26 journal article VoR Balaskas Vasileios, 2021. ‘Local Involvement in Modern Greek Revivals of Ancient Theatres: Delphi and Epidaurus in the Interwar Period’, Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies 45.1, 75-91. https://hdl.handle.net/10630/45679 10.1017/byz.2020.25 eng Attribution 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ open access application/pdf Cambridge University Press
