On 27 March, on the occasion of World Theatre Day, we launched a special project: a traditional theatrical mask donated by Theodoros Terzopoulos to the National Theatre and the 10th Theatre Olympics will “go on a journey” to visit some of our guest artists before the opening ceremony on 15 April.

We are making a film about the voyage, and will report regularly on the mask’s adventures here on the Theatre Olympics social sites. So the kick-off for the European road movie was Greece: welcome to the first day in Epidaurus:
