“The Birds”- A play by Aristophanes in a special performance by the Classical Theater Company.
Pre-performance talk by Prof. Harvey Yunis, Professor of Humanities and Classics, Rice University.
Politics and religion…the two topics one never discusses in polite society. Now, you can! Just in time for a presidential election season, “The Birds”, one of the most revered comedies written by the great Greek playwright Aristophanes, is thick with commentary on politics and the relative absurdity of human nature. Aristophanes tears apart the religious and political world of fifth-century B.C.E. Athens. Needless to say, his views and the debates around which they center are still relevant today. A talk about the archaeology and history of the Greek theater precedes the performance. Afterward, enjoy a reception of Greek desserts with dancing and music where politics and religion will be topics of discussion!

The Olympian Dancers Greek dance troupe was established in 1995 in order to provide the young Greeks and Greek-Americans of our community an opportunity to learn and participate in their heritage through the art of dance. The Olympians have expanded the repertoire of dances, as well as costumes, to provide showcase performances of traditional Greek dances from all regions of Greece.
The Heritage Gala is an event a long time in the making and one truly important to the troupe.
By hosting this event, the Olympian Dancers are able to showcase dances and costumes from specific regions of Greece, with great emphasis on the authenticity of each dance and costume. In presenting these performances, the troupe wishes to celebrate their cultural heritage here in Houston as well as to share it with other Greek-Americans and non-Greeks.
Join us for this year's Heritage Gala spotlighting Crete with dinner, cash bar, silent auction and a special dance performance by the Olympian Dancers!
