SUMMARY:Euripides’ ANDORMACHE
DESCRIPTION:Euripides’ A N D R O M A C H E Directed by Maria Protopappa \n~ When human justice fails\nNemesis restores balance\nand the right of women to claim their place in the world ~ \nMaria Protopappa makes her directorial debut with Euripides’ “Andromache”\, a tragedy that remains surprisingly timely\, exploring the experiences of terror and destruction\, individual choices and their profound influence on society. \nBased on the translation by G. V. Tsokopoulos\, the great director and actor Maria Protopappa dramaturgically and directorially elaborates on a work that raises crucial questions. With the dynamism that characterises her\, she also takes on the role of Woman. \nA unique acting ensemble plays the roles of the remaining tragic figures: Argyris Xafis plays Andromache\, Tasos Lekkas plays Hermione\, Giannis Dalianis plays Menelaus and Dimitris Piatas plays Peleus. In the role of Thetis we will see Stella Gika\, while the Chorus consists of Dimitris Georgiadis\, Dimitris Mamios\, Konstantinos Passas\, Giorgos Fasoulas\, Giannis Manthos and Nontas Damopoulos. \nEuripides’ tragedy\nWe are transported far from the great city-states\, deep into the Greek countryside: to Thessaly\, Phthiotis\, and\, finally\, Thetideion. To the house of Neoptolemus\, Achilles’ son. There we witness the dramatic conflict between two women: Andromache\, widow of Hector and slave of Neoptolemus\, and Hermione\, wife of Neoptolemus. Filled with jealousy and envy\, Hermione accuses Andromache that\, because of her\, Neoptolemus no longer loves her and does not wish to have a child with her\, while he already has a child with Andromache. The conflict reaches its extremes when Menelaus\, the king of Sparta and father of Hermione\, decides to kill Andromache’s child\, thus committing one of the most extreme acts of vengeance and arrogance. \nNeoptolemus\, the fierce\, ruthless and irreverent hero of the Iliad\, the one who cemented the victory of Greeks at Troy\, now proves incapable of fulfilling his roles as a father\, husband and leader. He flees in search of a cure at Apollo’s oracle in Delphi. His war-fuelled frenzy has tainted his marital bed\, his house and his city. Before the eyes of the woman he irreparably wronged\, he will receive the retribution known as “the Punishment of Neoptolemus”. \nIn an inversion of the heroic Iliad\, Euripides in “Andromache” lays bare the arrogance of the Greeks and the illusion of their cultural superiority. The pre-war promises for a united and mighty nation are dispelled amid a landscape ripe with decay\, ageing\, fear and envy. \nThe burden of responsibility falls not only on the architects of destruction but also on those who placed their beliefs in them and played a part in the collapse of values through their complacency. It is the next generation that must pay the price. The country\, now decimated\, is represented by a grotesque Chorus of women\, abandoned\, fearful\, resigned and bewildered. \n \nThe performance\nIn ancient art\, from sculpture and painting to poetry\, women are often depicted as symbols for their countries\, protecting their homelands as a mother protects her children. Male figures\, on the other hand\, take on the strategic management and leading policies. \nIn Maria Protopappa’s dramaturgical and directorial approach to “Andromache”\, Hermione and Andromache represent the ideals of their countries\, while Menelaus and Peleus represent politics and power. Women do not simply constitute femininity; they have been constructed by men to represent the ideal role of the country and society. Thus\, the Euripidean tragedy\, while speaking of a home\, is essentially concerned with the ethos and political management of a state in peacetime. \nEuripides’ language breaks the rules of the era and is transformed into spells that vibrate with physicality\, sensory memory and collective experiences. The director attempts to bring to light and transmit these precious and untranslatable elements not only verbally\, but also kinesiologically\, having an excellent group of Greek actors by her side. \nMaria Protopappa’s note\n“A woman prisoner of war and her child\, an illegitimate child of rape\, become a scandal in a small provincial town. Andromache’s insistence on surviving\, full of hope and expectations for the future\, and her courage to resist and speak out against the injustice she suffers\, upset the local people in power\, close houses\, break alliances and expose the inequalities of society. \nIn the most intense way\, Euripides highlights the arrogance of the powerful\, the illusion of superiority of the “civilised” Greeks over the “savage” barbarians\, revealing the fundamental injustices of their world. \nAndromache becomes a symbol of resistance against social and political injustices. Although she suffers mistreatment and oppression\, she refuses to succumb and remain silent. Her actions\, her persistence and her voice\, expose the status quo and overturn powerful social structures. The overthrow of expectations\, the breaking of taboos and the denunciation of the irreparable evil that comes from power\, become the driving force that changes the balance and brings Nemesis to the heart of society. \nRevealing the moral poverty of power\, Euripides does not stay on the surface; he digs deeper\, observing how corruption and violence turn against those responsible\, functioning as a natural\, divine intervention. When human justice fails\, Nemesis takes action\, restoring balance and the right of women to claim their place in the world regardless of social prejudices. \nIn “Andromache”\, the insistence on justice\, the need for recognition and the recognition of truth transcend social conventions\, revealing the gaps of power and its arrogance. Through the voice of Andromache\, Euripides calls us to recognise the true value of the human spirit\, endurance\, strength and justice\, which are always superior to the interests and contradictions of those in power.” \nARTISTIC & PRODUCTION CREDITS\nTranslation: G.

SUMMARY:“To Kaplani tis Vitrinas” (“Wildcat under glass”) by Alki Zei
DESCRIPTION:TO KAPLANI TIS VITRINAS (WILDCAT UNDER GLASS) by Alki Zei \nThe legendary “To Kaplani tis Vitrinas” (“Wildcat under glass”) by Alki Zei goes on tour throughout Greece.\nA milestone for children’s literature\, it has been translated into 22 languages and published in 39 foreign editions\, receiving numerous international awards. Having recently marked 60 years since its first launch\, it sets off on tour to tell its fascinating story that has captivated whole generations of readers. The story of human towards the conquest of freedom. A production of KOLOSSAION PRODUCTIONS.\nSummer. The magical season for children. Sea\, play\, exploration and endless nights with magical stories under the stars. A group of children in Lamagari\, Samos\, will live an adventure that will change their lives forever. \nAs the nation is forced into a fascist dictatorship on 4th August 1936\, the children take part in secret missions to help Melia and Mirto’s cousin\, Nikos\, a university student at risk of imprisonment. Nikos is hiding at Milos until he can escape to civil-war Spain and fight for democracy. However\, no matter how hard things are\, the children have by their side the wildcat that’s locked inside a glass cabinet in the living room of Melia and Mirto’s home. The Kaplani (as tigers are called in Samos) has the ability to come to life through Nikos’ stories. When necessary\, it joins the children’s difficult missions in its own magical way\, helping and protecting the children. \n“To Kaplani tis Vitrinas” is a story about the fascinating path that all living creatures\, humans and animals\, follow to live as they are made by nature: Free.\nAnd for this to happen\, there must be democracy\, even if we need to fight for it. So that\, if someone asks “Are you happy or sad?”\, we can answer “Happy” before we go to bed every night. \n \n  \nA few words about Alki Zei\nThe ambassador of Greek children’s literature\, Alki Zei\, was born in Athens and spent her early childhood years in Samos\, where her mother came from. When she started school\, her family settled in Marousi and then in Athens. She studied at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Athens\, the Drama School of the Athens Conservatory and the Moscow Film Institute. Writing came into her life in her high school years. She wrote puppet plays\, short stories and novellas\, which were published in various literary magazines. Alongside writing\, she actively fought for freedom\, social justice and democracy\, participating in the left-wing movement since the years of the German occupation in Greece. Fighting for this cause defined her personal life. From 1952 to 1964 she lived in the Soviet Union as a political refugee together with her husband\, playwright Giorgos Sevastikoglou. At first they lived in Tashkent and later in Moscow\, where their two children were born. They returned to Greece in 1964\, only to flee again in 1967 to Paris\, where they remained until the mid-1970s due to the dictatorship. Alki Zei’s straightforward style of writing\, linguistic integrity\, critical attitude towards people and situations\, humour and penetrating look at events\, are the characteristics of her works that have captivated Greek and foreign readers alike. Achille’s fiancée\, Wildcat Under Glass and Petros’ War are among the classic best sellers of contemporary Greek literature. With the exception of Achille’s fiancée\, Alki’s books mainly address children and adolescents\, but are always a great read for adults as well. Dealing with every-day\, universal issues\, Alki’s books are inspired by her personal experiences\, weaving their plot alongside historical events. “If I chose to write for children\, it is because I wanted to capture the important things my generation experienced\, which I fear will be forgotten when we are gone”\, she notes. Alki Zei is an ambassador of contemporary Greek literature abroad\, as all of her work has been translated and published in many countries around the world. \n \n  \nDirector’s note\nAlki Zei wrote stories whose magical element was the gaze of the children themselves; that secret garden that few adults manage to know where it is with such honesty\, love and courage. And Alki Zei seems to have known very well how to open this invisible door and get inside the souls and thoughts of children. Perhaps because she herself lived guided by her personal truth\, tenderness and boundless humour that followed her even in the hardest times of her life. Elements that the brave and tireless soul of children has in abundance\, in what we all once had. Our childhood. In Alki’s books there is a world that children recognise immediately and spontaneously\, because it is their own world. In her stories\, imagination is not just a place to escape but also a way to create reality. A world where people can coexist no matter how different they are. By always testifying\, through her characters\, that nothing is a given. That things are not always easy\, ideal and happy. At the same time\, this unique viewpoint also gives the perspective that\, within yourself\, you can always find the strength to believe in something better for your life and to have the right to dream about it. Without being didactic; without hiding the truth. I think this is what gives her works this timeless dynamic\, creating an open dialogue with children to this day. This vast magical world; when we were children\, we all knew that everything was possible there. This great world. Our childhood. And our only homeland.\nDimitra Larentzaki \n \nNote from Alki Zei’s son\, Petros Sevastikoglou\nWith Alki we never stopped travelling. Ten years ago we went on a trip that was somewhat different to our previous ones. We visited Samos island to film a documentary about Alki’s life. “The Great Walk of Alki”\, which never stopped\, returned to Vathi\, Lamagari\, where Alki spent her early childhood years. These years left such an imprint on her soul\, as alive as the wildcat in the glass cabinet\, which was the starting point for her first novel. The wildcat of the book was there\, inside its glass cabinet\, at the Museum of Natural History. Even though many years had passed and the wildcat was evidently worn down\, when Alki saw it\, she leaned over and said to it: “My wildcat\, it all started with you.” Alki didn’t spend her life yearning for the past. Even when she told stories about the old days\, it was in order to speak to young and old in the present. Just like Alki\, in our performance we have tried to tell the children of today this story from the past\, with great love and with everything that Alki has left open to tell the audience herself through the wildcat.\nPetros Sevastikoglou \nArtistic and production credits:\nAdaptation – Direction – Lyrics: Dimitra Larentzaki\nSet design: Katerina Papageorgiou\nCostume: Maria Kavalioti\nMusic: Kostas Vomvolos\nChoreography – Movement: Pashalia Akritidou\nLighting design: Trifon Kehagias\nVideo: Petros Sevastikoglou\nVideo animation: Babis Venetopoulos\nMasks: Olympia Sideridou\nAssistant director: Angelos Kourepis\nConstruction of the wildcat: Alexandros Konstantinidis\nPhotography: Giorgos Nakis\nTrailer: Panagiotis Kountouras\nPoster artwork: Moutzoura & Konstantinos Georgantas\nSet construction: KOLOSSAION PRODUCTIONS\nExecutive producer: Maria Prodromou\nProduction: KOLOSSAION PRODUCTIONS \nCast (in alphabetical order):\nSofia Mpletsou: Stamatina / Pipitsa\nViktoria Papadopoulou: Mirto\nPavlina Papadopoulou: Melia\nAndreas Papaioannou: cousin Nikos / the Dutch Consul\nThanos Poumakis: Nolis / the Prefect\nMaria Prodromou: aunt Despina / author\nKornilia Prokopiou: Artemi / wildcat / the Prefect’s wife\nStamatis Stamoglou: grandfather / the Despot \nAdmission:\nGeneral admission: EUR 13 \nPre-sale starts on 23rd June 2025 at www.ticketservices.gr.

In Spain he made a documentary in support of the democratically elected Republicans during the Spanish Civil War (“The Spanish Earth”\, 1938). In China he spoke about the heroic resistance of the Chinese people against the Japanese invasion (“The 400 Million”\, 1939).\nHis collaborations with other filmmakers were significant and fruitful. Together with Frank Capra he made the documentary series “Why We Fight” (1943). He collaborated with the brothers Paolo and Vittorio Taviani on the documentary “Italy Is Not a Poor Country” (1960)\, combining different film genres. He also participated in the collective documentary “Far from Vietnam” (1967) with Jean-Luc Godard\, Alain Resnais\, Agnès Varda and many other acclaimed directors.\nHis inexhaustible filmography includes\, among other films\, “Tomorrow in Nagila” (1960)\, “A People in Arms” (1961) and “The Victory Train” (1964)\, in which he describes the battles of various peoples and countries\, empathising with them. The 763-minute documentary “How Yukong Moved the Mountains” (1977)\, which records the Chinese Cultural Revolution\, also holds a distinct place in Ivens’ filmography. Finally\, in his autobiographical film “A Tale of the Wind” (1988)\, Ivens summarises his life and career with the wisdom of a well-travelled humanist.\nAmong his numerous international awards are the Short Film Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1958 and the special prize for his entire body of work at the Venice Film Festival in 1988. \nScreening start time: 18 & 19 August\, 9:00 PM

SUMMARY:Sophocles’ Electra
DESCRIPTION:Sophocles’ Electra\nDirected by Dimitri Tarlow\n“Inextinguishable hatred\, rigid passion” \nDimitri Tarlow makes his directorial debut in ancient drama with the Sophocles version of Electra on 21st August 2025 at the Andros Open-Air Theatre \n \nIn a world plagued by totalitarianism and social injustice and an era where violence and revenge are often portrayed as “necessary evil\,” Sophocles’ Electra takes on an eerie relevance. Far from being merely a tale of vengeance\, this tragedy becomes a mirror that reflects humanity’s moral dilemmas and\, foremost\, the eternal conflict between justice and ethics. Our performance aims to highlight this complexity\, inviting the audience to confront crucial questions: What does it mean “to restore justice”? What is the imperative of duty? Can one live with the consequences of violence? Is violence an inevitable solution? Will revenge close the cycle of bloodshed? Is redemption ever possible? And\, finally\, what is the role of resistance when all seems lost? \nElectra\, a member of the accursed family of Atreides\, a woman entangled in this cycle of blood and horror\, is more than a tragic figure—she embodies the dilemma between the pursuit of justice and the moral imperative to forego violence. She is not just a tragic being of fate but a creation of her own volition\, one wholeheartedly invested in the cause of justice. Is she a victim of her obsession with revenge or maybe a voice of resistance against the brutality of power? And why\, when the palace is freed from its tyrants\, does she not step inside? Is it because she merely chooses to refrain from the House she despises so much or because she rejects the very system that she fought so vehemently against? Is she still a captive of the extreme emotions that defined her\, such as the grief for her father’s loss\, the hatred towards her mother\, and the longing for her lost brother? One thing is certain: her passion does not quiet down\, not even after the much-sought catharsis is accomplished. \n \nIn Electra\, the poet does not cater to answers. Gods are absent. Oracles coincide with human decisions by chance. Conscience falls by the wayside. The Furies are yet to appear. Still\, the burden for all survivors is heavy. It is this cost of choice\, this relentless human need for catharsis at any price\, that Sophocles’ Electra urges us to contemplate. After all\, Sophocles will not grace us with a sequel\, as he will not complete a trilogy\, and his work shall stop here. For every single one of the doubts and questions he once posed will find their resolution within these 1\,510 verses of astounding symmetry and economy. \nARTISTIC & PRODUCTION CREDITS\nTranslation: Giorgos Himonas\nDirection: Dimitri Tarlow\nSet design – Costume: Paris Meksis\nMusical composition: Fotis Siotas\nLighting design: Alekos Anastasiou\nChoreography: Markella Manoliadi\nDramaturgy: Eri Kyrgia\nSound design: Ilias Flammos\nAssistant directors: Dimitra Koutsokosta\, Aristi Tselou\nAssistant to the choreographer: Maro Stavrinou\nAssistants to the lighting designer: Haris Dallas\, Nafsika Hristodoulakou \nExecutive producer: Stella Yiovani\nProduction: Anna Pasparaki\, Vasilia Taskou\nCommunications & Press Office: Sasa Papahristopoulou\nAdvertising & Social Media: Renegade Media \nCAST\nElectra: Loukia Michalopoulou\nOrestes: Anastasis Roilos\nClytemnestra: Ioanna Pappa\nAegisthus: Nikolas Papagiannis\nPaedagogus: Giannis Anastasakis\nChrysothemis: Grigoria Metheniti\nPylades: Periklis Sioundas \nCHORUS (in alphabetical order)\nMargarita Aleksiadi\nAsimina Anastasopoulou\nEleni Vlahou\nIoanna Demertzidou\nEleni Kilinkaridou – Sisti\nIoanna Lekka\nLydia Stefou\nAnna Simeonidou\nHara Tzoka \nLive musicians on stage: Fotis Siotas\, Tasos Misurlis \nAdmission:\nGeneral admission: EUR 22\nDiscounted admission (students\, unemployed\, people with disabilities): EUR 18 \nPre-sale starts on 23 rd June 2025 at www.ticketservices.gr.
