Marina Aslanoglou in "Ecclesiazousai"

Marina Aslanoglou is set to play Praxagora in a new production of Aristophanes' comedy "Ecclesiazousai" directed by Themis Moumoulidis, scheduled for the summer of 2026.

Marina Aslanoglou, a prominent Greek actress, will star as Praxagora in the upcoming production of Aristophanes' play "Ecclesiazousai, Women in Power." This ambitious production, directed by Themis Moumoulidis, is a collaboration between the Agrinio Municipal Regional Theatre and the artistic collective 5th Era. The adaptation aims to present the ancient comedy in a unique circus-cabaret format, showcasing a modern interpretation of the classic work.

The production promises to deliver a fresh perspective, reflecting the artistic vision of both Lefteris Giovanidis, the artistic director of the Agrinio theatre, and Themis Moumoulidis. It will feature a reworking by Nefeli Maistrali and Themis Moumoulidis, with music composed by Thodoris Oikonomou and choreography by Patricia Apegki. This innovative approach is expected to attract both theatre enthusiasts and a broader audience interested in contemporary interpretations of classic works.

The official premiere is set for June 30, 2026, in Agrinio, which marks a significant date for the local cultural scene. This ambitious project not only highlights the talent of Aslanoglou but also signifies a collaborative effort to advance the local theatre community, positioning it as a platform for innovative artistic expressions while engaging with historical texts in a contemporary context.
