Petropoulis
1985

A 45 minutes documentation of director Peter SteĆn's work during a performance of "ORESTIE" in Athens, as recorded by Carlo Rola.
This event took place during Athens designation as "culture capital" of Europe in 1986. As venue for the performance, a stone quarry was reconstructed and altered to seat 2000 people.
The stage construction, rehearsals up to the day of the performance plus a retrospective interview with Peter Stein, comprise this very private and in depth portrait of one of Germany's most prolific theatremaker.
