Athens Epidaurus Festival
Athens, Greece
Anestis Azas directed the performance The Republic of Baklava, blending documentary and fiction within a modern Greek setting. Rooted in the legacy of the 1821 Bicentennial, the play follows a Greek-Turkish couple who decide to found their own micro-nation inside their home. Amid humorous twists, the characters grapple with longstanding cultural tensions, the slippery terrain of national identity, and the promise—and absurdity—of a global digital future.
