The Poreia Theatre was founded in the turbulent political and social years that followed the Resistance and the Civil War, when Greek theatre was trying to get on its feet through the formation of new experimental troupes and the rapid growth of theatre stages in the centre of Athens with the exploitation of old — mainly — buildings.
The Poreia Theater has already been identified in the public consciousness with performances of high quality and aesthetics that, however, have the courage to share with the European avant-garde.
Since 2000 onwards with the group “Dolichos” by Dimitris Tarlou, the repertoire of the theater has included new unattainable foreign works, such as the historical “Beast on the Moon” or “Plots with a View” and “Forest”, classic masterpieces such as “Matchmaking”, works based on neuropsychic disorders such as Peter Brook's “Man Who”. Still works based on Greek novels of late antiquity such as “Daphnis and Chloe”, or monological works such as “Oblivion” by D. Dimitriadis or new Greek works such as “Blind Spot” by the then newcomer Yiannis Mavritsakis.
