The Travelling Players

Directed by Theo Angelopoulos

With Eva Kotamanidou, Vangelis Kazan, Aliki Georgouli, Kyriakos Katrivanos and Stratos Pahis

A traveling theatre troupe tours the Greek countryside from 1939 to the early 1950s, staging “Golfo the Shepherdess”. As the years pass, its members endure persecution, betrayal, executions, and exile. Their personal stories become entangled with the country’s major historical events, in a seemingly endless cycle of violence and loss.
