GREEK THEATRE

The theatre of Ancient Greece, or ancient Greek drama, is a theatrical culture that expanded in ancient Greece between 550 BC and 220 BC.

Athens exported the festival to its numerous colonies and allies in order to promote a common cultural identity.

Athens was institutionalized as part of a festival called the Dionysia, which honored the god Dionysus. The Greek god of fertility and wine.

Thespis is credited with innovating a new style in which a solo actor performed the speeches of the characters in the narrative (using masks to distinguish between the different characters).

The ampa theater were built in a semicircle, with tiered seating above a performance area.A natural amphitheatre is a performance space located in a spot where a steep mountain or a particular rock formation naturally amplifies or echoes sound, making it ideal for musical and theatrical performances.
