The National Theatre of Greece is inviting emerging artists, regardless of gender, who hold the nationality of an EU member state (excluding Greek nationality), are based in the European Union, and are active in the field of theatre as writers, directors, or dramaturgs to express their interest in participating in the 2nd Artistic Residency Programme at the National Theatre.

During the programme, three artists-in-residency will have the opportunity to join the National Theatre of Greece, collaborate with its staff, gain in-depth knowledge of how the theatre operates, familiarize themselves with current artistic trends and the cultural life of Athens, and deepen their own research and practice.

The artistic residency can last up to 75 days and must take place between February 2025 and April 2025.
