‘From The Silence of the Display Case to Living Theatrical Voices’ was a series of four projects inspired by

artifacts of the museum.

In the great tragedy ‘Erofili’ (c. 1595) we were taken back to the age of Chortatsis, the crowning period of Cretan literature,

by a woven dress with many pleats from Crete dating to the 17th century. It is a rare example of the

Renaissance influence exerted by the Venetian colonisation of the island between 1211 and 1669.

The exhibit was presented by Xenia Politou, curator of the Neo-Hellenic Art Collection.

‘From The Silence of the Display Case to Living Theatrical Voices’ was a

series of four projects inspired by artifacts of the Benaki museum.

Sophocles’ play Philoctetes’ shows how the youthful Neoptolemos, son of

Achilles, is initiated into adulthood. Acting as a teacher, Odysseus oversees

the young man’s first labour - he will become a man if he is cunning enough

to entrap the savage Philoctetes.

the artifact is a commentary of the scene on an Attic red-figured vase of the

mid 5th century BCE - a youth is seen as he departs for war. So, is it a

realistic represantation of a common event? Or is there perhaps a subtle

reference to the ritual of initiation, a process with great significance for male

Athenian citizens before they were seen as men?

The exhibit was presented by Irini Papageorgiou, Curator of the Prehistoric, Ancient Greek and Roman Collection.

Inspired by the 12th century Ptohoprodromic poems, which satirise the

Byzantine life, silver plates decorated with mythological themes, spoons

inscribed with the sayings of ancient sages and ceramic plates with dragons

fights and humorous depictions of dinner and drinking parties were

presented by Byzantine curator Anastasia Drandaki, prior to

the performance.

‘From The Silence of the Display Case to Living Theatrical Voices’ was a

series of four projects inspired by artifacts of the Benaki museum.

Inspired by Theodoros Kolokotronis oil paint the performance was based on

his memoirs. ‘A History of the Greek Race from 1770-1836’ sheds light on

unknown aspects of the struggle for Greek independence, as told by the

‘Old Man of the Peloponnese’ to Tertsetis.

The exhibit was presented by Tasos Sakellaropoulos, currator of Historical
