On Sunday, 11 October 2026, Theatro Tarot “visited” Greenbridge in Trikala, Greece, for its second presentation entitled “The Creative Side of Tarot”.

The event offered a retrospective of the project’s eight-year journey, from the first connections between Tarot cards and theatre in 2018 to the current development of the research and the creation of a new dramaturgical approach to Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex.

At the heart of the presentation was the potential of Tarot as an open-ended tool for artistic creation, capable of offering alternative interpretations and new possibilities for the dramaturgical exploration of a theatrical work.

The presentation began with an introduction to the concept and evolution of Theatro Tarot, followed by an exploration of the Major Arcana and its 22 cards. Through examples of characters and scenes from well-known plays, we examined how Tarot imagery and archetypes can serve as starting points for different interpretations while also contributing to the development of new approaches to staging. Particular emphasis was placed on the distinction between simply associating a card with a theatrical character and exploring its deeper dramaturgical potential.

This was followed by a comparison of different Tarot decks, highlighting how distinct visual interpretations of the same archetypes can open up new readings and artistic directions.

The presentation then traced the research journey that led to the publication of “The King Is Blind (Ο Βασιλιάς Είναι Τυφλός)” in October 2023, marking an important stage in the evolution of Theatro Tarot. The event concluded with an initial introduction to the next phase of the research and its dramaturgical approach to Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex.
