##  Synopsis: 

 The experimental-research performance "About a tragic mask: a composition of excerpts from *Phoenician Women* and *Trojan Women* by Euripides" is part of the doctoral thesis of the Department's PhD candidate, Sophia Baltzoi, entitled "The tragic mask in the performances of antiquity and the revival of ancient tragedy in modern Greece" supervised by Maria Mikedaki, assistant professor at the Department. It is a composition of the choruses from the *Phoenician Women* and the *Trojan Women* by Euripides and the monologue of Jocasta from the *Phoenician Women* of the same tragedian, which will be performed with the use of tragic masks. The aim of the performance is to examine the reception of the ancient tragedy genre performed with tragic masks by the theater audience. After the performance, the audience and the actors will fill in questionnaires that will help draw conclusions useful for the doctoral research.
