To the ancient Greeks the Olympics were not merely a sporting event, they were a celebration of culture, and the games would be accompanied by festivals, debates and drama. This cultural exchange is also a key tenet of the modern Olympic Games and Theatro Technis and its project encapsulates much of the character of the 2012 games. The Theatre has Greek roots, is based in London and relies on a multi-national body of actors, crew and volunteers. The presentation of the Oedipus Saga clearly links to the Greek heritage of the Games, but also it represents the ability of theatre to transcend national boundaries and speak to people in universal terms. The majority of the saga will be presented in English, as the lingua franca of our era it will enable to most people to understand the work. Aims and goals;  The Olympic Games is crucial in inspiring youngsters to take up athletic endeavours, it is hoped that in parallel Theatro Thechnis can stimulate young minds and get them interested in theatre.  Though more generally the Oedipus Saga provides a great introduction to all people not familiar with theatre. The project will provide affordable and entertaining theatre in the local area and hopes to attract those who normally do not get to see plays. o The plays will be produced and viewed by people of many different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Like sport theatre can promote understanding between all people.
