Disabled Actors in Greece Highlight War's Impact Through 'The Trojan Women'
In Greece, a unique performance of 'The Trojan Women' was staged at the ancient theater of Epidaurus, featuring a cast of disabled and non-disabled actors. This event marked the first fully accessible performance in the theater's 2,300-year history, providing services such as Braille programs, tactile models, and live audio descriptions for blind audience members, as well as overhead titles for the deaf. The play, produced by the National Theater of Greece, focuses on the suffering of women left behind after the Trojan War, offering a poignant counter-narrative to the traditional tales of heroism. The performance was supported by the nonprofit Liminal and funded by Greece's Alpha Bank.
