The Theatre Scheme of Leonidas Loizides tours staging “BACCHAE” of Euripides, in a version of the dean and professor of the University of Athens, Marika Thomadaki and in direction of the pioneer and innovating director Leonidas Loizides, who has a 20-year active career in the theatre stardom, always serving the quality theatre, and with artistic successes, the destiny of which had been to travel abroad and make a tour in Europe and America, as we are ambitious for our new oncoming production too. The play is presented in the Greek language with English hyper-titles. Its ingenuity lies in the fact that it is performed only by a female cast, that totally consists of eight women, selected professional actresses. It is about a pioneer idea of Leonidas Loizides that aims at the promotion of the role and the power of the woman, in the past as well as in the present time and the future.

We also point out that in this attempt of ours we have the support of the Greek and Cypriot state and the honour, this theatrical production to be under the auspices of the Greek Ministries of Foreign affairs, Tourist Development, Transportation and Communications, the Organization for the Promotion of the Greek Culture of the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Cypriot Republic as well as ΠΟΔΑ (Cultural Organization of the Municipality of Athens) and UNESCO.

Our Communication Sponsors are: ERT WORLD, ΕΘΕΛ, «Apogevmatini”, “City Press”, “Athens VoiceAthens 984, GoCulture", while our Sponsor is the “BANK OF CYPRUS”

All the above factors render the as above performance perfect from the artistic point of view, at a level that it can satisfy even the most demanding audience.

The theatre company consists of 8 members and along with the director, the technician (operator of lights and sound) and the production organizer, constitutes the eleven-member team that will travel for the materialization of this inspired project.

The specific production spread its wings beyond the Greek horizons in September of 2008 with a 40-day tourney in America, in 18 states of the USA, under the auspices of the World Council of Hellenes Abroad, SAE USA Region and the Organization under the name “PEDIA” (meaning EDUCATION in the English Language), and we hope that its journey will be as far and long, from the time point of view, as possible. Our tourney in America had an extremely warm reception from the audience and the press, winning many distinctions by local entities, with the awarding of prizes by the Municipality of New York and the American Congress being the high spot.

Our following destination is Europe, with already scheduled performances in Germany, London, Cyprus and Paris for January and February 2009, while we are already preparing our new theatrical production “Troades” of Euripides, which will start its tour in Greece and abroad from August of 2009.
