Abstract
Greece, a border of both East and West, is constantly in a delicate balance trying to explore issues of identity, historicity, and orientation. Greece has the privilege – but also the great responsibility – of bearing the heritage of the ancient tragic and comic drama as the birthplace of theatre and this is at the same time an obstacle for contemporary Greek theatre as any comparison with its glorious past is always painful.
During my research, I met eleven influential Greek theatre people and we shared our thoughts and worries on the main questions regarding the present and the future of Greek theatre and its relation with the rest of Europe
