The production story

A continuous journey through the palace introduces successive roles in the world of Byzantine Mystras. The five-minute film moves from service spaces to noblewomen and a throne-room encounter, then reveals a modern visitor’s identification with those figures. The 2022 festival record supports a Byzantine classification, separate from ancient Greece.

This record covers the named work. The source below identifies its date and scope. Later broadcasts, translated titles and extracts are not counted here as separate productions.
