Contemporary Greek drama, despite the problems it faces, is heading towards a theater of substance, away from the seductive departure and the lifelike reflections abundantly provided by television and digital imagery.
The critique posed by Greek theater, along with its wandering in the world of otherness, may bring back to the forefront the symbolic dimension, which always mediates between the fantastic and the real, between spectacle and eventology.
Only in this dimension can artistic experience be made possible, that is, that conscious stance which tends to respond to still undefined desires and to orient itself towards experiences uncharted by inherited knowledge.
The stage that contemporary Greek theater must and can establish is the symbolic stage that does not answer, does not repeat, does not visualize, simplifying, a question, but formulates new questions.
In a television and digital culture, that is to say, a punctuated and voyeuristic one, theater can become the focal point for the emergence of new meanings only when it follows its own path, contrasting the gentle imitations with the "hard" human presence and the complacent affirmation of reality with its corrosive questions.
