Greek Classic 'I Parelasi' Premieres at Vlissidis Theatre in Chania

Thursday, 23 April 2026/Haniotika Nea/1 
The play "I Parelasi" (The Parade), written by renowned Greek playwright Loula Anagnostaki, will be performed at the Vlissidis Theatre in Chania on April 24, 25, and 26 at 9:00 PM. Anagnostaki is one of the most celebrated figures in modern Greek theatre, making this a culturally significant event for visitors interested in the performing arts. The Vlissidis Theatre is located in Chania's city center, easily accessible on foot from the old town and the Venetian harbour area. Performances begin at 9:00 PM each evening, which fits well into a typical Cretan evening schedule after dinner. Tickets are expected to be available at the theatre box office. This is a Greek-language production, so some familiarity with the language may enhance the experience, though the theatrical setting itself offers a genuine window into local cultural life.
