Greek director Vangelis Theodoropoulos was appointed as the new artistic director of the Hellenic Festival.

“The task of the new artistic director is difficult, but we are certain that he will cooperate constructively with the board of the Hellenic Festival and the Greek artists to have the best possible result under the current circumstances. And always with the eyes set on the future,” the Culture ministry said in an announcement.

The director and founder of Neos Kosmos theatre accepted Culture Minister Aristidis Baltas’ proposal after Jan Fabre submitted his resignation.
