Athens Epidaurus Festival 2025

The visual identity of the Athens Epidaurus Festival is redesigned every year to reflect the themes of the artistic program. 2025 marked a milestone year, as the Festival celebrated 70 years of uninterrupted presence. To mark this extraordinary anniversary, we created a system of illustrations built around people: creators, contributors, and the audience – the Festival’s driving force and its raison d'être.

For 70 years, the Festival has been shaped by people: artists, collaborators, and spectators alike. A living gathering of culture lovers who come together every year to re-create the shared experience of art. The Festival’s history and legacy are revealed through images of its people. More than 70 original portraits were drawn by hand: a vibrant, colorful “audience,” including iconic figures – writers, directors, actors, auteurs, composers – as well as mythical creatures and theatrical characters, all of which make up the Festival’s history, and its essence. All these figures came together to form a living mosaic: a series of unique illustrations that simultaneously function as a dynamic graphic pattern, applied across the Festival’s key posters and a wide range of applications.
