This festival, aimed at disseminating the culture and society of the classical world, combines the XXIX edition of the Greco-Latin Theater Festival with a wide range of didactic workshops. These activities allow students to approach antiquity in a practical way, offering an immersive learning experience.
The program includes 16 workshops and various thematic spatia focused on areas such as clothing, language, writing, and the military world. Additionally, specific activities have been set up for younger children, such as Olimpomenuts, aimed at children between 1 and 6 years old, and Olimposchola, with performances adapted for students.
In parallel, the Greco-Latin Theater Festival has begun at the Roman Theater with the play The Suppliants, by Euripides, performed by the group Párodos Teatro. Throughout the week, other classical pieces such as Medea, Oedipus Rex, Mostellaria, and Gorgojo will be staged.
“"The hard core are the associations, a group of people committed to trying to transmit classical culture in a different way, understanding it not strictly as a part of our past, but also as a part of our present and our future."
From the Generalitat, a representative highlighted the solidity, quality, and effort made to ensure that Sagunto is a benchmark not only in the cultural field but also in education. She emphasized the importance of educational innovation and experiential learning in a unique environment.
The general director of Cultural Heritage pointed out that heritage is alive because we continue to use it and because it continues to fulfill the same function. She added that the essential thing is not only to preserve it but to integrate it into our lives. For her part, the councilor for Culture expressed the municipality's satisfaction in hosting this initiative, assuring that Sagunto is delighted to welcome all the educational centers that have joined this great celebration.
Organized by the associations Prósopon Sagunt and Lvdere et Discere, along with Domus Baebia, the Ludi Saguntini are supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, the Sagunto City Council, and various collaborating entities, consolidating themselves as a key event for the dissemination of classical heritage.
