It may have finally been decided to announce the position of the Artistic Director of DIPETHE Patras following many months when the theater is artistically bereft, but this does not mean that everything is rosy.
And this is because times are pressing, if we want to talk regarding summer production, since as is well known, most artists have already “closed” their summer obligations.
This and several other concerns are shared with pelop.gr by the member of the Board of DIPETHE and president of the Association of Friends of DIPETHE Patras Marianna Stamatiadou.
DIPETHE Patras: The position of Artistic Director is finally announced!
“The summer season is already gone” characteristically points out Mrs. Stamatiadou as the final data evaluation of the procedures is expected to take place next June. Continuing, he even emphasizes:I hope at least we get a program that includes a performance on the children’s stage or the main stage”.
At the same time, Marianna Stamatiadou points out that a good evaluation should be done so that mistakes of the past are not repeated and to choose a worthy Artistic Director this time who will be able to stand worthy of the history and course of DIPETHE Patras.
At the same time, she expresses her anxiety regarding the cultural development in the city of Patras, as she points out that at the moment in the Achaean capital there is a general lack of culture in terms of the municipal front.
