Education and research in Theater.
The main characteristic of the group's work for this performance is in my view the investigation of the body. The human body in all its expressive aspects as a vehicle of' emotional but also intellectual experience predominates the director's work. Having met Maria Panoutsou about 15 years ago, I am not surprised that her approach of Greek Tragedy is so sensitive to the actor's body and to all experience concerning this body or originating from this body. I remember that this was always the intention of her projects in performance and theatre education.
As a result, the clarity of the scenes' structure is amazing as well as the transmitting of the text expressing both dionysiac ecstasis and rational understanding of Sophocles' drama. The other main feature of the performance is I think the intellectuality manifested in the conception of each particular scene:
As a spectator who expects some sort of philosophical interpretation of tragedy I was happily discovering during the performance strong moments of thought not only in the director’s mind but also being understood and elaborated deeply by the actors continuously during the process. This dense sophisticated background of TOMEE'S work together with the simplicity and clarity of the forms created for me a singular and important theatre experience that brought ancient Greek drama up to the contemporary world with a manifest educational impact and in a political and aesthetic originality and meaning fulness.

Our mission is to give the opportunity to as many young people as possible to participate. We always include in our programs and projects people with less opportunities (economically, geographically, educationally speaking), respecting gender balance and promoting the ideals of UNESCO, the EU and the UN. Our objective is to further evolve our mission so as to include even more people and collaborate with even more organisations. NGOs give especially to young people the chance to participate and offer. In addition, through Youth in Action and other European programs, an important amount of the cost is covered, a fact which makes it even more attractive to young people and at the same time more reachable.
Our organisation is active on Youth, Youth in Action, MED and INTERREG programs. Currently a number of actions is being planned, such as a training course for the youth of Northern and Central Greece, a collaboration with "Dimokritio" University in Thrace, and of course we are actively involved in the UN's "International Year of Youth". It started on the 12th of August and a number of actions, one per month, are planned throughout the whole year. To become a member of the ALF would bring us closer to the arab world, with which we would like to further develop our relationship and cooperation. Europe is only part of the world and we want to prove that the african continent is much closer to us than we think.
