you should learn
what is Epidaurus,
what is Asclepion,
what does “dream therapy” mean.
Michael Cacoyannis Foundation presents an exhibition under the general title “All about Epidaurus”. It is an exhibition of the archival material of Epidaurus’ performances and activities that is collected by the journalist-author-artist Vassilis Kavvathas and whose curator is Vassilis Kavvathas. The exhibition aspires to
present Epidaurus thoroughly and effectively, especially to the young generation. Epidaurus’ magical greatness will be revealed.
Epidaurus was a referential point of antiquity and a notional place that was connecting apprenticeship with the Sanctuary of Asclepius (Asclepion). That was a place where thousands of pilgrim-patients were swarming in order to live the experience of a miracle; there one could follow the ritual of “sleep”, meet God and potentially be resurrected.
Vassilis Kavvathas’ archive is going to be partially exhibited at Michael Cacoyannis Foundation for the first time, while the ultimate goal of the collector is the creation and the establishing of a Library-Gallery dedicated to Epidaurus.
The unique collection of Vassilis Kavvathas includes: rare editions of books, posters and promotional material of past theatre performances, gravures, etchings made of wood and copper, paintings and photographs, always concerning Epidaurus.
