Many European festivals canceled their program this year due to COVID-19. The Athens and Epidaurus Festival, determined to meet its obligations towards its audience, in the difficult summer of 2020, strictly implementing the health protocols, presents a new condensed program entitled SUBSUM. As part of this year's Festival, for the first time - and even in the era of the pandemic - a significant production of ancient Greek drama will be broadcast live on the internet. It is also the first time that a play from the ancient theater of Epidaurus is broadcast live.
