According to Athens Epidaurus Festival’s Artistic Director, Katerina Evangelatos, the new  brand identity will ”mark the beginning of a new era” for the Festival. 

 

“This past difficult winter, not only did we prepare the 2021 artistic program and launch set of new initiatives entitled  OPEN PLAN, but we also worked towards (re)designing our brand identity as part of an overall effort to provide a breath of fresh air into this institution.  The new identity aims, among other things, to highlight the historical continuity of a festival spanning 66 years by drawing attention to its pioneering character and its high standing as one of the most prominent cultural organisations in Europe and worldwide,” she said.

 

“Our relationship with the international scene is of paramount importance: We are a Greek, European and international Festival.  Our audience includes Greeks and thousands of visitors from around the world.  This is why we have we have decided to (re)introduce ourselves with our international name: ATHENS EPIDAURUS FESTIVAL,” Mrs Evangelatos added.
