The Enchanted Shepherd by Spyridon Peresiadis

A dramatic idyll in three acts, with Greek songs and dances

The dramatic idyll The Enchanted Shepherd by Spyridon Peresiadis is brought to life through a modern, lyrical interpretation that draws inspiration from memory and oral tradition.

The work serves as a vehicle for returning to rituals, in a long-gone world where nature has a voice and magic tests love. Through musical motifs, grotesque transformations, and folk sounds, this performance becomes a hymn to memory. The past evolves into a place of nostalgia and a tool for reinventing the present, all while remaining an ever-changing part of ourselves.

The production “The Enchanted Shepherd by Spyridon Peresiadis” took place on 30 and 31 August 2025 at the Ancient Theatre of Samos (Wooden Theatre).

The filming of the production took place as part of the Project “Sub 3.29 Platform for managing cultural events in archaeological sites and museums”, which is included in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0” and is funded by the NextGenerationEU plan.
