Abstract
The paper presents the evaluation results of REVAthens, a pilot interactive digital application for mobile devices, which “narrates” historical events that took place during the 1826-27 siege of the Acropolis of Athens by the Ottomans by employing the methodology of museum theatre. The project’s goal was to create alternative readings of the Greek Revolution through first-person evidence as narrated by different imaginary “characters/avatars” who experienced the siege. The evaluation process followed a mixed approach and focused on how groups and individuals experience the app either on-site or online, and how their feedback could inform future practice. The paper provides an outline of the project and discusses its evaluation process and results.
