The Theatre of the Fields in Kyparissi village starts its summer 2015 program with the groundbreaking lyra player, Yiannis Kapetanakis, on Friday June 26, 2015.
Yiannis Kapetanakis plays with his soul and imagination, improvising on lyra, taking it beyond traditional limits! A contempory cretan artist worth discovering.
Theatre of the Fields (Theatro ton Agron)
Situated 20km from the city of Heraklion, in the valley between the villages of Profitis Elias and Kyparissi, this unique little theatre hosts concerts and performances of Cretan and Greek artists, as well as of artists from abroad, focusing on traditional music and art. The theatre is made of wood and stone, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees and literary hidden in the fields. During the hot summer nights, the ‘theatre of the fields’ becomes a refreshing escape from the heat and overflows with people. And because it is not enough to only feed the spirit but you also need to feed your body, in the site of the theater you can buy delicious traditional dishes prepared with the products of the village fields, good wine and –of course- raki!
