French Embassy in Greece

The French Embassy in Greece has issued a statement reiterating the country's official position that a maritime boundaries accord in the Mediterranean Sea signed between Turkey and Libya's Tripoli-based government last year is "invalid."

Belgian director Ivo van Hove, known for his avant-garde dramatizations, draws upon two Euripides texts, "Orestes" and "Electra," to tell the tale of a brother and sister united in their resentment of their mother, Clytemnestra. In collaboration with the Comedie-Francaise, van Hove is bringing the production to the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus for the Athens and Epidaurus Festival.
