A brief and rare show of 53 National Theater costumes will end on Monday at the Syntagma station of the Athens metro, ANA reports.
The exhibit, running from October 9 to 18, consists of costumes made by hand from 1942 to 1982. It is organized in the exhibition room on the floor above the ticketing level.
The costumes show celebrates the opening of the theater season after one lost to the coronavirus pandemic, and commemorates the work of famous Greek artists – including Antonis Fokas, Spyros Vassiliou, Giorgos Vakalo, and Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghika – and the seamstresses and embroiderers working with them to produce works of art, with techniques that reached their peak in the decade preceding WWII and the two decades after it.
