Yannis Simonides is a world-renowned actor from Greece who works in
collaboration with Elliniko Theatro. He has performed his
play, "Apology of Socrates" (a famous work written by Plato), all over the
world, including at many university institutions. The performance brought people from many different areas: the HSA, the Classics department, the Philosophy department, the Institue of European Studies, and more. A question and answer session followed the performance, which was then followed by a reception with greek food. Thank you to all who attended!

"An exciting, daring performance that brings Socrates to vivid life. Yannis Simonides, directed by Loucas Skipitaris, allows the audience to experience the immortal gadfly in all his dimensions – restless, humorous, brilliant and fascinating."
