The ancient theatre, one of the most splendid achievements of ancient Greek civilization, inspires all the activities of DIAZOMA.

 

The memorandum of association of DIAZOMA states its philosophy and function, and expresses the aims it aspires to achieve.

 

 

DIAZOMA seeks to help the responsible civil services and specialist scholars in the research, protection, restoration, enhancement and promotion of the ancient venues for spectators and audiences, as well as the encounter of these wonderful monuments with contemporary cultural creation, wherever this is feasible.

 

It seeks to publicize the beauty, the originality, the values, knowledge, aesthetics and harmony of the ancient theatres in all ways: by organizing events, a campaign for each theatre, adopting monuments, by opening bank accounts-money boxes for each ancient venue for spectators and audiences, as well as by utilizing new technologies.

 

It seeks to persuade the economic powers of Greece to contribute to this effort as sponsors.

 

It seeks to mobilize local societies with regard to their monuments.

 

It seeks to heighten Greek citizens’ awareness of their cultural heritage, in conjunction with developing contemporary cultural creation.

 

It seeks to help the development of other dimensions in our daily life, so that this acquires special quality.

 

It seeks to turn an issue that appears remote into a simple everyday narration.
