Event Details

The play-project After the Campsite is the outcome of the annual workshop which the National Theatre of Northern Greece runs for young refugees. It is not a play about the refugee crisis, but a play about the crisis of European values, now that history has made it clear that Europe is anything but a Union. The project chooses not to focus melodramatically on the past, on lost homelands and all things left behind. Instead, it attempts to highlight the hopes and dreams of young refugees for a better future and the ways in which they adapt to their new life.

The production was selected to participate in the “The Future of Europe—International Theatre Festival”. It was staged at the Schauspiel Stuttgard in June 2018, along with productions from Piccolo Teatro (Milan), Célestins Théâtre (Lyons), the National Theatre of Greece (Athens), the National Theatre of Catalonia (Barcelona) and Vigszinhaz (Budapest). It thus became part of the joint work of several European theatres which created an artistic and discursive space in which international artists explore the topic of the future of Europe and the potential for an “open European society”.

  • Reviews

    ‘’ Greek theatre has rarely been as self-aware, lively and indispensable –and even more rarely, with so many perspectives that harmonize in a single context– as during After the Campsite.’’
    Francesco Chiaro, teatro.persinsala.it – Italy

    ‘’In addition to commenting on the tragedy of the refugee crisis, the show is a commentary on a Europe that practices unfair austerity policies to fill the gaps in the pockets of those who conceptualized it, trapping millions of young people in a morbid state of poverty and leading them to self-contradiction and despair.’’
    Eva Tsoukala, parallaximag.gr

    ‘’The show was designed for a modern theatre and an  experienced audience […] The intensity, eagerness and the nerve of the three young actors were felt throughout the performance in their bodies, their movements and their vocal performance[…] ‘’
    Maria Doukaki, artic.gr
