SUMMARY:The BIRDS By Aristophanes
DESCRIPTION:What would happen if someone organised the birds so that they become bearers of a new reality? \nHaving directed the tragedies “The Persians” and “Prometheus Bound”\, Aris Biniaris returns to Andros Open-Air Theatre directing an ancient Greek comedy for the first time; on Friday 23 August he presents “The Birds” by Aristophanes. \n \nAlthough the plot of this outstanding comedy is fictional\, its theme is close to reality. “The Birds” present a new start\, which has to be made outside human society\, far from gluttony\, decay and corruption. \nOdysseas Papaspiliopoulos and Giorgos Chrysostomou take on the roles of Pisthetaerus and Euelpides\, accompanied by numerous exceptional actors; Michalis Valasoglou\, Stelios Iakovidis\, Thanasis Isidorou\, Tasos Korkos\, Kostas Koronaios\, Sofia Koulera\, Avgoustinos Koumoulos\, Maria Kirozi\, Errikos Miliaris\, Marios Panagiotou\, Kiriakos Salis\, Alexia Sapranidou\, Konstantina Takalou and Irini Tsellou will try to found their own ideal city in the heavens\, far away from people. \nThe plot\nDisappointed with the living conditions in their city\, two friends\, Pisthetaerus and Euelpides\, search for a new place where they can live peacefully and with joy. Their contact with the birds’ world will give them the idea to found a new city up in the heavens\, between the earth and the sky.\nWhile construction of the city is in progress\, uninvited visitors from the people’s world arrive demanding arbitrary authority and privileges. At the same time\, correspondents of the Olympian gods complain\, worried that sovereignty of the gods is contested as the new city prevents the smoke of sacrifices from arriving in heaven.\nWill Pisthetaerus and Euelpides\, together with the birds’ help\, manage to complete the construction of Nephelokokkygia (literally “cloud-cuckoo-land”)? How easy will it be to make their own utopia come true? \n \nThe performance\nDirector Aris Biniaris uses the element of ritual\, aiming to bring out the allegorical extensions of Aristophanes’ work. Music and movement give centre stage to human condition\, transformation and restoration of a cosmic justice.\nWhile human civilisation has reached a critical point\, the birds’ flying resembles a ceremony of initiation and reconnection of humankind with the natural world and with the unprecedented power that results from this relationship. \nARTISTIC & PRODUCTION CREDITS\nTranslation: Tasos Roussos\nDirection: Aris Biniaris\nDramaturgy – Adaptation: Elena Triantafyllopoulou – Aris Biniaris\nSet design – Costume: Paris Mexis\nMusical composition: Aleksandros Drakos Ktistakis\nMovement: Aleksandros Vardaxoglou\nLighting design: Vaggelis Moudrihas\nChorus masks: Dimitra Kaisari\n1st Assistant director: Nefeli Papanastasopoulou\n2nd Assistant director: Vaggelis Prassas\nAssistant to the set designer and costume: Alegia Papageorgiou\nCommunications & Press office: Maria Tsolaki\nAdvertising – Social media: Renegade Media\nProduction: Τεχνηχώρος Performing Acts\nPromo photography: Mariza Kapsabeli\n3D graphics: Erifyli Doukeli\nVideo promo: Thomas Palivos \nCast:\nPisthetaerus: Odysseas Papaspiliopoulos\nEuelpides: Giorgos Chrysostomou\nHoopoe: Kostas Koronaios\nOracle Man – Prometheus: Stelios Iakovidis\nPoet – Iris: Konstantina Takalou\nMeton – Heracles: Errikos Miliaris\nInspector – Poseidon: Marios Panagiotou\nInformer: Thanasis Isidorou\nChorus: Michalis Valasoglou\, Thanasis Isidorou\, Tasos Korkos\, Sofia Koulera\, Avgoustinos Koumoulos\, Maria Kirozi\, Kiriakos Salis\, Alexia Sapranidou\, Irini Tsellou \n~ In co-production with Athens Epidaurus Festival ~ \nADMISSION:\nGENERAL ADMISSION: € 23\nDISCOUNTED ADMISSION (UNIVERSITY STUDENTS\, UNEMPLOYED\, PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES): € 20 \nSTART TIME: 21:00
