The Trojan Women at Teatro Motta in Palmi

On 1 and 2 August 2026 the Teatro Nicola Antonio Manfroce Motta in Palmi stages Euripides' 'The Trojan Women', one of the most powerful tragedies in the classical Greek repertoire. The Palmi stage hosts the plight of the women of Troy after the fall of the city: two evenings devoted to grief, dignity and the memory of the defeated, in one of the town's historic venues. The production is promoted by the Associazione Great Talent, which handles the organisation and advance ticket sales.

Euripides' tragedy

First performed in 415 BC, 'The Trojan Women' portrays the hours following the destruction of Troy, as the women of the defeated city - from Hecuba to Andromache and Cassandra - wait to be led into slavery by the victorious Greeks. It is one of the most famous works of ancient drama about war and its consequences for the innocent. Bringing it to the Teatro Motta places Palmi within the tradition of summer classical performances, introducing Calabrian audiences to a text that still speaks to the present.
