Karyofyllia Karabeti returns, 29 years later, to the iconic role of Medea

Karyofyllia Karabeti is set to reprise her legendary role as Medea after 29 years in a new summer production directed by Nikita Milivojević.

Karyofyllia Karabeti is returning to her iconic role as Medea nearly three decades after her memorable performance in 1997. This revival will feature a powerful reading of the classic tragedy and marks the return of the internationally acclaimed director Nikita Milivojević to Greece. As Medea, Karabeti will portray themes of love, betrayal, exile, and death, highlighting the intense emotional burden that the character carries on stage.

The production, organized by the cultural organization 'Lykofo's' led by Giorgos Lykiardopoulos, will showcase a talented twelve-member cast, including stars such as Lazaros Georgakopoulos, Aris Lembesopoulos, and Tasos Sotiropoulos. Renowned actress Reni Pittaki will take on the role of the Nurse. The production aims for high standards, aiming to resonate with audiences while revitalizing this timeless tale for a contemporary setting.

The opening night is scheduled for July 5 at the Vrachos Theatre in Greece, with an ensuing tour taking the performance to select locations across the country. With an emphasis on ticket sales and early reservations encouraged, the production appears poised to attract both long-time fans of Karabeti’s work and newcomers eager to experience this classic tale interpreted through a modern lens.
