Ancient Theater of Epidaurus, July 1976. Translation: Leonidas Zenakos Direction: Karolos Koun Assistant director: Giorgos Armenis Sets - Costumes: Dionysis Fotopoulos Music: Christos Leontis Lighting: Mimis Kougioumtzis ...The search for folk scenic styles led Karolos Koun to the significant investigation of morphological elements that refer to directly perceptible characteristics of a specific version of Greekness. Karolos Koun's intentions, the way he approached ancient drama and especially comedy from his theater, are expressed by him in a statement he made on the occasion of the performance of Ornithion at the Festival of Nations: "The choice of folk elements is not so easy because one must find things that marry, like paint marries wood, and not things that are incompatible. One must find new elements that harmonize with the old, that have an aesthetic, plastic or spiritual similarity. And here lies the great difficulty." These elements, visible already from Koun's first attempts with the students of the Athens College, were combined with the establishment of a Greek acting code that created the distinct tradition of the Theater of Art. This tradition, which has evolved from the founding of the theater in 1942 to the present day, in the basement of the Art Theater or at theater festivals abroad and in Greece, has consolidated the troupe's international reputation and broadened its acceptance by the public. Each of Karolos Koun's comedy performances is defined by the attempt to explore an expression that characterizes the continuity in the history of Greek folk tradition. The Acharnians (Ἀχαρνῆς in the Attic dialect) is the third comedy that we know Aristophanes wrote and the oldest that has survived intact. It was taught at the Linae of 425 BC, when Aristophanes was about 20 years old and won first prize. It has as its central character an Athenian citizen, Dicaeopolis, who, fed up with the long-standing Peloponnesian War, decides to conclude a private peace agreement with the Spartans. On the occasion of this discovery, Aristophanes praises the benefits of peace, criticizes (in the person of the general Lamachus) his war-loving fellow citizens and does not fail to satirize even Euripides. .
