SUMMARY:NIKIRATOS
DESCRIPTION:For ticket reservations CLICK HERE\nEvanthia Kairi\, sister of philosopher Theofilos Kairis\, wrote NIKIRATOS\, the first theatrical play of modern Greece\, which is about the Sortie of Messolonghi in 1826. \nAccording to Walter Puchner\, Professor of Theatre Studies at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens\, this play is particularly important for two reasons; first\, because it was written by a woman in the 19th century\, an era when women weren’t involved in literature and the arts; and second\, because it talks about the current affairs of the writer’s era\, i.e. about the tragic events of the Sortie. \n \nThe play has undergone philological interventions by Giorgos Dambasis. The text has been rendered into modern Greek and includes three odes by the poet Andreas Kalvos (set to music by Mikis Theodorakis)\, along with an ode of Dionysios Solomos’ “The Free Besieged” poem and Rigas Feraios’ “Command”. Two songs written by French philhellene composers\, one song about Messolonghi and the other about Navarino\, have been also added to the play. Moreover\, Evanthia Kairi has been theatricalised. \nTwo other key contributions to the play are Anna Maier’s and Asimina Kouri’s lyrical songs\, as well as the collaboration with the association of traditional costumes and weapons “O LIAROS” from Messolonghi. \n \nCast (actors from Andros): \nVasilis Pomonis (Korais)\, Rania Konstantinidi (Evanthia)\, Amalia Tiniakou (Kleoniki)\, Antonis Chalas (Nikiratos)\, Thodoros Koulouris (Lisimachos)\, Dimitris Mamais (English mediator)\, Giorgos Maltambes (Ibrahim)\, Mary Bekiari (Byron’srecitation)\, Nikos Vlachopoulos (performer of afolk song about Messolonghi) \n \nWith the NIKIRATOS play\, the Andros Eparhio participates in the festivities that commemorate the 200 years since the start of the Greek Revolution against the Ottoman Empire. \nGeneral admission: 10 EUR \nFor ticket reservations CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:Othello by William Shakespeare
DESCRIPTION:For ticket reservations CLICK HERE\nOne of the greatest plays of the international theatre repertoire\, William Shakespeare’s unsurpassed erotic drama “Othello” is directed by Aimilios Heilakis and Manolis Dounias\, and stars Giannis Bezos in the title role.\nThis adaptation of the immensely popular play has been translated by Dionisis Kapsalis and boasts original music written by Dimitris Kamarotos. The protagonist roles have been given to Giannis Bezos (Othello)\, Aimilios Heilakis (Iago)\, Mirto Alikaki (Emilia)\, Kostas Koroneos (Brabantio)\, Alexandros Varthis (Cassio) and Maira Gravani (Desdemona). The play also features Konstantinos Gavalas\, Kris Radanov\, Manolis Dounias\, Eleftheria Kontogeorgi and Nikos Tsimaras. \n\nIn “Othello”\, Shakespeare addresses the theme of infatuating love\, which conflicts with racial\, age and social differences. This play is a tragedy about jealousy\, betrayal and fear of anything that is foreign and different. The brave Moorish general’s love with the young noble Venetian woman challenges the stereotypes of their times. However\, instead of bridging differences\, it shakes certainty and disturbs social balance.\nEven though Othello has distinguished himself due to his bravery and ethics\, and he has risen to multiple ranks\, he doesn’t manage to become an equal member of the society where he lives; not only his skin colour and origin prevent him from doing so\, but also his own insecurity. He remains the “black”\, the “foreigner”\, the “inferior”.\nShakespeare’s play also talks about man’s unceasing obsession to destroy anything that is ideal\, different or able to break the existing social norms. Moreover\, it criticizes the hypocrisy of society\, which de-establishes its benefactors at the first opportunity. \n\nThe plot unfolds in Venice during its most prosperous times\, when Moorish Othello is the bravest and most victorious general of the city. His decision to secretly marry young noble Desdemona infuriates Brabantio\, the girl’s father\, who turns to the Duke of Venice as he believes that the Moor seduced his daughter. Desdemona\, however\, publicly confesses her love for Othello\, while the Duke of Venice\, who needs Othello’s services\, sends him to Cyprus to fight against the Ottomans. There\, Iago\, Othello’s ensign who hates his master because he promoted Cassio as his adjutant instead of him\, poisons Othello’s mind with the suspicion that Desdemona and Cassio have a love affair. In fact\, he uses his wife Emilia and aristocrat Roderigo in order to deceive his master. Othello is completely overwhelmed by erotic jealousy\, while Iago’s hatred leads Othello to destruction. \nARTISTIC & PRODUCTION CREDITS\nTranslation: Dionisis Kapsalis\nAdaptation: Manolis Dounias\nDirection: Aimilios Heilakis – Manolis Dounias\nOriginal music: Dimitris Kamarotos\nStage set conceptualisation: Aimilios Heilakis\nStage set implementation: Katerina Charou\nCostumes: Makis Tselios Atelier\nLighting: Nikos Vlasopoulos\nAssistant director: Nikos Tsimaras \n \nCAST\nOthello: Giannis Bezos\nIago: Aimilios Heilakis\nEmilia: Mirto Alikaki\nBrabantio: Kostas Koroneos\nCassio: Alexandros Varthis\nDesdemona: Maira Gravani\nRoderigo: Konstantinos Gavalas\nMontano: Kris Radanov\nDuke of Venice: Manolis Dounias\nBianca: Eleftheria Kontogeorgi\nLodovico: Nikos Tsimaras \nPhotography: Patroklos Skafidas\nCommunication Manager: Anastasia Kamvisi\nPress Office: Maria Tsolaki – Evangelia Skrobola\nAdvertising – Social Media: Renegade Media / Vasilis Zarkadoulas\nProduction Execution: Efi Panourgia\nProduction: ΘΕΑΤΡΟΧΩΡΟΣ LP \nGeneral admission: 20 EUR\nDiscounted admission for students\, unemployed and people with disabilities: 15 EUR \nFor ticket reservations CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:Orestes by Euripides
DESCRIPTION:For ticket reservations CLICK HERE\nAfter years of directing ancient Greek comedies\, Giannis Kakleas returns to the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus with his very first directed ancient Greek tragedy\, Orestes by Euripides\, translated by Giorgos Chimonas. The play will be also presented at theopen-air Andros theatre. \nOrestes by Euripides is a play filled with bitter conflicts\, plot twists\, apologies and intense political reflection. This playposes questionson the relations between generations and sexes\, social cohesion\, and the survival of young people in a world shaped by factors beyond their control. \n\nThe play stars the brilliant actor Aris Servetalis in the role of Orestes\, accompanied by an exquisite troupe of actors and actresses who stand out for their acting skills\, including: Mary Mina (Electra)\, Panos Vlachos (Menelaus)\, Giorgos Psychogios (Tyndareus)\, Emilianos Stamatakis (Pylades)\, Nikoleta Kotsailidou (Helen of Troy) and Jerome Kaluta (Phrygian). \nWith the participation of: Katerina Zafeiropoulou\, Alkistis Giraud\, Niki Lami\, Ioanna Lekka\, Danai Moutsopoulou\, Matina Pergioudaki\, Eliza Skolidi\, Anastasia Stylianidi\, Electra Fragiadaki. \n \n \n \n \n \nThe plot unfolds in the city of Argos.\nElectra and Orestes\, young\, hurt\, fragile\, helpless and vulnerable\, suffocating within their myth\, are transformed into wild beasts.\nPersecuted after killing their mother\, they – formerly kings’ offspring – become pariahs in their family and unwanted in their homeland. \nMenelaus and Helen return from Troy. The two siblings hope for Menelaus’ intervention\, however\, neither he nor Tyndareus intend to help them. As such\, Orestes turns to Pylades. With Electra’s help\, they devise a revenge plan aiming to victimise Helen and her daughter\, Hermione. Ultimately\, deus ex machina Apollo intervenes and provides the final solution. \nIn Orestes\, Euripides picks up the thread of the myth of the two siblings (Orestes and Electra) right after Clytemnestra’s murder\, in order to bring it closer to the human dimension and to talk about young people’s survival in a world defined by circumstances beyond their control. He sinks his heroes in the darkness of sorrow\, despair and hopelessness\, in search of the Light.\nIn search of the Truth.\nIn search of Self-knowledge. \n✦ Orestes by Euripides (408 BC) provides an insightful commentary on the function of the Athenian democracy. It is considered the poet’s last work that was presented in Athens before the poet’s departure for the ancient Greek region of Macedonia\, and it addresses the young matricides’ fate after their crime. \nARTISTIC & PRODUCTION CREDITS \nDirection/Dramaturgy: Giannis Kakleas\nTranslation: Giorgos Chimonas\nSet and costume design: Ilenia Douladiri/Giannis Kakleas\nMusic: Stavros Gasparatos\nMovement: ArisServetalis\nLighting: Stella Kaltsou\nAssistant director: Angeliki Trobouki\n2nd assistant director: Aris Kakleas\nAssistant costume designer: Ioanna Kalavrou\nAssistant composer: Alexandra Katerinopoulou\nLighting assistant: Stevi Koutsothanasi \nCAST\nAris Servetalis (Orestes)\nMary Mina (Electra)\nPanos Vlachos (Menelaus)\nEmilianos Stamatakis (Pylades)\nGiorgos Psychogios (Tyndareus)\nNikoleta Kotsailidou (Helen of Troy)\nJerome Kaluta (Phrygian) \nKaterina Zafeiropoulou\nAlkistis Giraud\nNiki Lami\nIoanna Lekka\nDanai Moutsopoulou\nMatina Pergioudaki\nEliza Skolidi\nAnastasia Stylianidi\nElectra Fragiadaki \nProduction: ΤΕΧΝΗΧΩΡΟΣ (Technichoros LP) \nGeneral admission: 20 EUR\nDiscounted admission for students\, unemployed and people with disabilities: 15 EUR \nFor ticket reservations CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:«Tangled Garden» by Bruce Gooch – Apo Michanis Theatro
DESCRIPTION:After greatly successful performances in Athens and Thessaloniki\, provincial areas will receive the cultural experience they deserve during this difficult period\, with a performance presenting audiences in the most touching way a reminder of the power of love. \nHow deep is the human need for love\, for closeness\, for complete acceptance? Can two people with seemingly contrasting personalities find in each other the person they have been looking for in their whole life? \nStelios Mainas and Katia Sperelaki answer these questions on stage\, giving an outstanding performance. Written by Canadian actor and author Bruce Gooch and directed by Dimitris Milonas\, the play talks about memories and experiences which play a decisive role in each person’s life. \n“Tangled Garden” is the latest play written by Bruce Gooch\, a remarkable actor and author who boasts numerous successful productions in the USA and in Canada\, and is a founding member of the New Fangled Stages theatre collective. The theatre Από Μηχανής Θέατρο (Apo Michanis Theatro – The Machine Theatre)\, in cooperation with New Fangled Stages\, presented “Tangled Garden” at a world premiere. \nA few words about the play\nBarry\, a military veteran who is now working as a bricklayer\, is recovering after a knee surgery\, when Louise suddenly shows up at his house. Properly mannered\, truly professional and a poetry aficionado\, she has been employed by the nephew of Barry’s ex-wife\, in order to take care of Barry. Although she is chased away by his coarseness\, the continuation of this encounter proves to be completely unexpected. Barry is determined to become a better man\, while Louise desperately seeks help in him. \nTwo solitary people meet in an effort to bridge the gap between two completely different worlds and find salvation\, each of them in their own way. The path they need to follow is long. \nDirector’s note\n«“The Garden is an oasis in the midst of the two heroes’ ‘dry’ life. There they will meet\, they will try to find a common way to communicate\, and they will seek cracks through which they can enter and dare to love and be loved. Despite their contrasting characteristics; despite the failures they carry along; despite the hesitation. The Garden is transformed into a place of negotiation with the other\, but\, above all else\, with the self. The decision to draw a common path\, against the flow\, is at times relieving and at times painful\, but it is always brave. Even if we are not aware of the strength of this bridge of encounter that they desire to build together\, in my opinion\, the fact that they make this effort is majestic indeed.”» \nDimitris Milonas\n \nCredits:\nActors: Stelios Mainas\, Katia Sperelaki \nAuthor: Bruce Gooch\nTranslation: Katia Sperelaki\nDirection: Dimitris Milonas\nLighting: Giorgos Agiannitis\nScenery/Costumes: Lida Sperelaki\, Angeliki Athanasiadou\nAssistant Director: Vicky Panagiotopoulou\n2nd Assistant Director: Christos Karanikolas\nPhotography: Patroklos Skafidas\nMovement/Choreography: Chrysiis Liatziviry \n  \n  \n \n \nPhotographs: Maria Lampriadou

SUMMARY:«Happy Days» by Samuel Beckett – Zero Point Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:The Zero Point Theatre Company\, in cooperation with Aneza Papadopoulou\, continues its research on the work of the great Irish author Samuel Beckett and presents the play “Happy Days”. \nDirector’s note\n“Yeah\, life\, I guess\, there is no other word.”\n~ Samuel Beckett (“Happy Days”\, translated by Thomas Simeonidis) \n“Happy Days” is a tragicomedy about the “Courage of Life”. Winnie\, embedded waist-deep in a burned hill under blazing light\, does not give up\, does not allow desperation to overwhelm her. Her passion for life emerges from every gesture\, every thought and word\, every breath and sound. The experience of destruction and death\, and the experience of loss of her beloved contribute to her embedding. However\, the demand for human contact\, coexistence\, tenderness and warmth is agonising and continuous. She experiences the full spectrum of human conditions; fear and anguish\, hope and faith\, passion and mourning\, pleasure and pain accompany her to the desert of the ‘ego’\, to her heartbreaking and utter loneliness. With the memory of love and the awareness of death\, Winnie insists; she connects with the sparkle of life and goes past the obstacles of pain\, revealing the figure of a struggling person at the edge of the world. Even at this point\, life is still meaningful. \nA transcendental interlocutor is on stage together with Winnie; the symbolic presence of the scenic Other. A performer\, a person who is alike and different\, familiar and unknown\, communicates with Winnie through the voice and the body\, the breath and the sound\, accompanying her to her difficult journey toward human connection. Human closeness is the ultimate request… \nSavvas Stroumpos \nCredits:\nActors: Aneza Papadopoulou\, Elli Igliz \nTranslation: Thomas Simeonidis\nDirection – Scenic installation – Costumes: Savvas Stroumpos\nMusic on stage: Elli Igliz\nRecorded music: Leonidas Maridakis\nLighting: Kostas Mpethanis\nPainting creation: Ilias Papanikolaou\nDramaturgy: Maria Sikitano\nScenery creation: Apostolos Zerdevas\nPhoto credits: Antonia Kanda\nCommunication: Marianna Papaki\, Nontas Douzinas \n  \nWith the support of the Greek Ministry of Culture \n \n     \n \nPhotographs: Maria Lampriadou

SUMMARY:«The Bench» by Alexander Gelman
DESCRIPTION:After successful sold-out performances in Athens and Thessaloniki\, “The Bench” goes on a tour throughout Greece. \nTwo strangers meet at a park and sit on the same bench. Are they really strangers\, though? Could it be that once they were something else? Is this an accidental encounter? Have they invented a life that they were never able to live? This is a tragicomic story of two lonely and desperate people. A story that could take place anywhere; in every country\, in every city. A story which poses a special contemporary and distressing question: can people really live together today? If so\, how can they actually do this\, if they constantly hide their true self from each other? \nAlexander Gelman is one of the most significant playwrights of Russia. “The Bench” was written in 1983\, before the fall of the Soviet Union\, when arbitrariness and corruption prevailed. It has been translated and performed in numerous countries. Its bitter humour makes it timeless and up-to-date in a tragicomic way. \n\nCredits:\nActors: Giorgos Kimoulis\, Fotini Baxevani \nDirection – Adaptation – Space configuration: Giorgos Kimoulis\nTranslation: Nikos Kamtsis\nCostumes: Sofia Nikolaidi\nLighting: Stella Kaltsou\nAssistant Director: Stathis Panagiotidis \n \n \n \n \n \n \nPhotographs: Maria Lampriadou \n

SUMMARY:«Adiós Niña» (Goodbye\, Girl) – Microscopic Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Federico García Lorca‘s songs are performed as an epic representation of the world\, focusing on the female form. \nThe popular cycle of the thirteen traditional Spanish songs (canciones populares) that the great poet and musician collected and adjusted for female voice and piano\, explores the global themes of traditional songs: the drama of life and its stages\, joy and sorrow\, love and heartbreak\, death\, work and the struggle for survival\, war and peace. Also\, the songs explore the play\, nature and its landscapes\, affectionate moments such as a lullaby\, celebrations\, weddings and ceremonies which express the collective life of a society\, and national\, religious or simply local pride. One of the songs contains the phrase ‘Viva Seville!’\, while bullfight is probably the only purely Spanish theme of the songs. \nThe performance of the Microscopic Theater links the song themes with a stage action that is undivided in space and time\, without linear narration. Each microscopic movement or gesture of the dance is recorded to the entirety of the play at any moment\, thus it is not necessary that the narration is linked with the individual themes or that the audience simultaneously focuses on the song lyrics. The cohesive forms of the action are the ones of reflection and dream\, as the dancers dive in the fertile collectivity of the unconscious in order to improvise the expression which fits every moment the most. Instead of describing\, they commune; instead of performing\, they embody. The images which are created on the stage sometimes illustrate the visible world and sometimes illustrate the shifting and the changes of the mind and the soul. \nThe song of the lyrical singer Roxani Papadimitriou is the source and the element that gives birth to the performance. As the singer is fully integrated in the choreographic action\, she remains ‘invisible’\, however\, in essence\, she expressively and mentally guides and defines the performance. She functions as a catalyst that converts the action of the dance group into a musical event. Thus\, the performance\, due to its morphological distinctiveness\, can be described more properly as a ‘musical installation’ and not as a choreography. \nThe title ‘Goodbye\, Girl’ refers to the female coming of age as a motto\, a wish and a riddle. \nAnastasia Lyra created the choreography and the scenery of the performance. Roxani Papadimitriou performs the songs\, while Despo Varoudaki and Mihalis Sidiropoulos play the guitar. Alkis Spiliopoulos is responsible for the lighting design. The dance is performed by the dancers Titi Antonopoulou\, Anastasia Argiropoulou\, Aliki Kontziou Gousia\, Athina Kirousi\, Eva Pagoulatou\, Eleni Pantazatou\, Elina Papadopoulou and Vanesa Spinasa. \nThe Microscopic Theater is a theatrical venue located in the centre of Athens\, in Plaka; it has been presenting the Microscopic Theater dance group for the past five years. The core members of the group have been cooperating with the choreographer Anastasia Lyra for at least twenty years. The choreographer’s main scope of work centres on classical music and dance improvisation. \nThe group of the Microscopic Theater has all the characteristics of an ensemble which relies on the long-standing cooperation of the majority of its members.

SUMMARY:«Theogony» by Hesiod – Patari Project
DESCRIPTION:Description of the play \nIn a period in which we are asked to start from scratch\, being based only on ourselves\, we realise that people increasingly feel the need to understand their origin. \nBoth children and adults need to listen to a fairytale before they fall asleep; a fairytale which justifies the things that the mind cannot explain. \n‘Theogony’ is one of the first attempts to explain the origin of human existence. It is one of the first big fairytales. \nThe performance tries to introduce or remind us of a great work of the ancient world and global intellectby employing an original\, bodily narration. \nIn the same way as Hesiod returns to the primary materials and roots of the world\, the performance also uses the body\, its properties and its abilities as the primary material and narrative tool. This play is not based on the scenery\, costumes and lighting. It is focused on the actors\, on the human beings; it is based on human imagination and inventiveness. \nIt is suggested that the play is presented at the Ancient Epidaurus Little Theatre– a space that\, in my experience\, functions as a channel where the narration and meaning are released and exculpated. \nWe aim to create a lively\, fun and touching performance which will make us wonder which is our own Earth\, our own Sky and our own Chaos. \n‘Theogony –ABig Celebration’\n(Inspired by Hesiod’s ‘Theogony’) \nConception-Idea: Patari Project \nDirection: Sofia Pashou \nDramaturgy: Katerina Mavrogeorgi \nMusic: Nikos Galenianos\, Stamatis Pasopoulos \nScenery: EvangeliaTherianou \nCostumes: Claire Bracewell \nMovement: ErifiliStefanidou \nLighting: Sofia Alexiadou \nPhotography: Panagiotis Maidis \nPost-production: Marianna Pana \nCast (in alphabetical order): \nHara Kotsali\, TheodosisKonstas\, ThanosLekkas\, Katerina Mavreogeorgi\, Kitty Paitazoglou\, ErifiliStefanidou\, Aleksandros Chrysanthopoulos\, ApostolisPsihramis. \nMusicians on stage: Stamatis Pasopoulos\, Nikos Galenianos \nSofia Pashou’s Curriculum Vitae \nSophia Pashou studied in ‘Arhi’ Drama School and in London International School of Performing Arts (LISPA). She completed theLISPA pedagogical training program on scholarship and entered the School’s workforce. She is a founding member of the ‘Patari Project’ group\, in which she has directed the following performances: ’10 cm up’\, ‘Odyssey’\, ‘Bal in the Air’\, ‘I catch a Shoe on the Piano’\, ‘Nose’ and ‘Hionani’. As an actress\, she has collaborated with LiloBaur\, with Helen Chadwick at the Royal Opera House in London\, with DessislavaStefanova\, with the ‘Out of Chaos’ and ‘Babakas’ groups etc. She has also been responsible for the element of movement in the following plays: ‘Iphigenia in Tauris’ (National Theatre of Northern Greece)\, ‘K’s Trial’ (Porta Theatre)\, ‘Arrival’ (Ancient Epidaurus Little Theatre)\, ‘Candide or Optimism’ (Porta Theatre)\, ‘Fahrenheit 451’ (Athens Festival)\, ‘Frogs’ (Epidaurus Festival) etc. Regarding her educational activity\, she runs courses and seminars for children\, adolescents and actors. She is an external collaborator of the workshop of KseniaKalogeropoulou’s Porta Theatre\, of London Bubble and of the BE-Festival. She has also taught at the Birmingham School of Acting and at the National Theatre of England. \n \n \n \nPhotos: Dimitra Milaiou

SUMMARY:«Oedipus Rex» by Sophocles – Athens Theaters
DESCRIPTION:  \nAthens Theatres present Sophocles’ great tragedy ‘Oedipus Rex’\, directed by Konstantinos Markoulakis\, which goes on a tour in Greece. \nDimitris Lignadis and Amalia Moutousi co-star in the play\, in the roles of Oedipus and Jocasta respectively.The protagonists are accompanied by the actors Nikos Chatzopoulos(Creon)\, Konstantinos Avarikiotis (Tiresias)\, GiorgosZiovas (Messenger)\, GiorgosPsichogios (Therapist)\, Nikos Chanakoulas (Second Messenger) and a chorus of 10 other actors and musicians. \nThe plot: \nThe play begins with a mystery. The city of Thebes is ravaged by a plague and King Oedipus tries to uncover the reason behind this misfortune. According to Apollo’s oracle\, Laius’ murder has to avenged in order that the plague stops. The King decides to solve the riddle and\,thus\, devastating revelations are brought to light.\nTwo axes complement each other in this play\, which is the greatest ancient drama that has survived. \nThe first axis is the perfect plot of the play; this is the first suspense thriller in global dramaturgy (the Anglo-Saxons refer to this genre with the term ‘whodunitplay’). The hero unravels the series of events and masterfully reaches the centre of the labyrinth\, where the pursuer and the pursued are the same person. Even if we sometimes do not appreciate this axis enough and search for different qualities\, the phrase ‘Polivos was not your father’ always makes the audience shiver. And the game of the fate is still halfway. \nThe second axis\, the one that renders ‘Oedipus’ the first existential play in global dramaturgy\, is the ‘Who am I?’ question that the protagonist asks and the tools that he uses to answer it. These are the tools that humans – especially in the Western world – have idolized: rational thinking\, reason and logic. They are the only tools we have and they have tremendously contributed to the development of the human species; however\, they are not enough. Because if someone decides to put this question\, they also have to be ready to receive the answer. And\, as the poet says\, the truth ‘is revealed only when facing death’. \nOedipus is the first human of our dramaturgy; he is its Adam. And his fate makes us humble. \n  \nCredits\nTranslation: Giannis Lignadis\nDirection: Konstantinos Markoulakis\nStaging-Costumes: Paris Meksis\nMusic: Minos Matsas\nMovement: Kiki Mpaka\nLighting: AlekosGiannaros\nAssistantDirectors: Dimitra Dermitzaki\, Elena Skoula\nAssistant Composer: Dimitra Agrafioti\nProduction: Athens Theatres \nCast:\nDimitris Lignadis: Oedipus\nAmalia Moutousi: Jocasta\nNikos Chatzopoulos: Creon\nKonstantinos Avarikiotis: Tiresias\nGiorgosZiovas: Messenger\nGiorgos Psichogios: Therapist\nNikos Chanakoulas: SecondMessenger\nChorus: Michalis Afolagian\, Dimitris Georgalas\, Dimitris Karaviotis\, Kostas Korakis\, AlkiviadisMaggonas\, Dimitris Mavros\, Vasilis Papadimitriou\, Giannis Politakis\, GiorgisTsouris\, Vangelis Psomas

SUMMARY:«tempus fugit» - Dance Theater cie. toula limnaios
DESCRIPTION:Concept/Choreography: Toula Limnaios \nMusic: Ralf R. Ollertz \nDance/Creation: Daniel Afonso\, Leonardo D’Aquino\, Priscilla Fiuza\, Alba de Miguel\, Alessio Scandale\, Hironori Sugata\, Karolina Wyrwal \nLighting design: Felix Grimm \nStage/Costumes: Antonia Limnaios/ Toula Limnaios \nIn tempus fugit seven dancers continually move as a group\, as a flowing unit. Propelled forward by an inner unison\, they produce an allembracing tide. A round dance like a single shared movement nevertheless at moments revealing the individual. Nothing lasts forever – the flow of time cannot be detained. But how do we really live in it? Has the hustle and bustle of daily life consumed us all? Compared to the breathlessness of our lives\, the horde resembles a muscle\, brimming with vitality and solidarity. Mass and identity\, power and momentum are its central phenomena – the group as a microcosm that frees us from the prison of isolation and unleashes new strength. \n“Toula Limnaios’ associative visual worlds reveal disturbing and simultaneously intense as well as precise movement details… The striking strength of this choreographer lies in her ability to stage a scenic plurality of opposing events that culminate in a pensive final metaphor.

The Berlin-based choreographer never ceases to evolve\, regenerate\, and scrutinize in order to bestow upon the audience new and challenging experiences that go under the skin. Her newest production “tempus fugit” can be best described as a concentrate of harrowing and powerful emotions: Toula spares nobody here! Just as in her poetic “minute papillon” (December 2015)\, the human herd behaviour and the consequent peer pressure stand in the middle of Toula´s narrative interest. Her piece tackles the shallow depths of present times and penetrates into the spaces in which one sweats out their emotions. The intertwining and divisive lines of the seven dancers (Daniel Afonso\, Leonardo D’Aquino\, Daeho Lee\, Katja Scholz\, Hironori Sugata\, Karolina Wyrwal\, Inhee Yu)\, merge to seize the entire space with a hectic performance. A strong gestural intensity emerges between uplifts and tormented glances. \nOn a stage covered by a sea of dead leaves\, a dance of automatons commences and exposes one or two black sheep on the horizon. The poignant Katja Scholz is one of them. The virtuous dancer attempts to stand out\, yet she quickly returns on the planned track\, like a small obedient robot roughly guided by one of her ‘master-like’ colleagues. An additional strong image: each protagonist strives to imitate the movements of an infant or a doll that is continuously abused by the others. An all-too-effective metaphor that touches with its cold (and perhaps truthful?) perversity. \nResembling puppets\, the bodies (covered with dry clay) swirl\, intersect\, crash against the wall and stumble over each other. Like time\, they go backwards and forwards in entanglement which simultaneously constructs and collapses them. Hearts are also short of breath with the rhythm of this destructive\, frantic life on the edge of the madness. The flesh is accentuated and the faces are tense. As the lines are dispersed\, they nevertheless fuse together in a common and cacophonic roar. \nIn combination with the unusual musical soundtrack (Haydn\, Mahler and Ralf R. Ollertz)\, the power of the form fluctutates between attraction and aversion. This newly arranged score undeniably fits the circumstances and is in perfect tune with the oppression manifested. A glimmer of hope ? Not really. The last scene\, in which Leonardo D Aquino tramples over the bodies laughing\, leaves everyone in the audience pensive.” \nhttp://cccdanse.com\, reviews\, Léa Chalmont \n \n \n \nPhotos: Maria Lampriadou\, Dimitra Milaiou

SUMMARY:«Hill 731» - Poreia Theater
DESCRIPTION:Direction: Aris Biniaris \nMusical Theatre on the value of freedom \n“731 meters above Hades…” \nIn 1941\, at Hill 731\, the small-scale Greek army manages a convincing victory over Mussolini’s large-scale army in the latter’s attempt to conquer Greece. In the battle that took place\, the facts and numbers seem toenter the realm of the absurd in regards to the numbers of the Greek foot soldiers and the methods they used to combat an Italian offensive of mythical proportions. \nIn the performance\, with narration of the facts as the key\, the battle is referenced on an existential and spiritual playing field of humans;in a place where the illogical way of thinking prevails; he who goes against common notion and comes into conflict with the accepted beliefs or common logic; there where the paradoxical way of thinking consists of freedom as its key meaning\, against an adversary which at first seems impenetrable and which attempts by force to establish in the existential and spiritual playing field of humans a model of regularity and homogeneity which in the end detaches us from life itself.Information sourced from newspapers\, eye witness accounts of the era\, interviews and memoirs of people that fought in the battle are transformed into music\, movement and text. \nCreative Team \nDirection and Text: Aris Biniaris \nSet& CostumesDesign: Paris Mexis \nDramaturgy: Aris Biniaris \nLighting Design: Paris Mexis\, Aris Biniaris \nMusic composed and performed by: Victor Kouloumbis (bass)\,Panos Sardelis (drums)\, Christos Georgopoulos (guitar) \nAssistant Director: Dora Xagorari \nAssistant Set Designer: Despoina Faridou \nAssistant Costume Designer: Dafni Iliopoulou \nPhotography and Video: Patroklos Skafidas \nMake-up Artist for the photography: Evi Zafeiropoulou \nPerformed by: Aris Biniaris and Konstantinos Sevdalis \n \n \nPhotos: Dimitra Milaiou

SUMMARY:«Plutus» by Aristophanes – Laiki Skini Of Andros
DESCRIPTION:Laiki Skini of Andros presents the ‘Plutus’ theatrical play\, written by Aristophanes\, in the summer of 2019. \n‘Plutus’ is Aristophanes’ last surviving comedy. It was written in 388 BC and marks the transition from the Old to the New Attic Comedy. \nIn this comedy\, Aristophanes satirises the uneven distribution of wealth by Plutus (‘Wealth’)\, who approaches the evil people because he is blind. Zeus punished god Plutus by making him blind\, so that he would avoid the righteous\, the wise and the honest people. After Chremylos and his slave cure Plutus and make him regain his eyesight\, the latter distributes his wealth to the benevolent and impoverishes the rich. \nThus\, the overturned status quo causes chain reactions that illustrate the social patterns of Aristophanes’ era; these patterns are very similar to today’s society\, which is thirsty for wealth. \n  \nDirection: Nikos Psarianos \nCast:\nChristos Kotsarinis (Carion)\,\nVasilis Pomonis (Chremylos)\,\nGiorgos Maltabes (Plutus)\,\nGiorgos Eleftheriou (Vlepsidimos)\,\nAngeliki Strati (Penia)\,\nDespoina Manesi (Chremylos’ Wife)\,\nGiorgos Kairis (Righteous Man)\,\nTaksiarhis Stratomitros (Defamer)\,\nVivi Daniolou (Old Woman)\,\nMarios Antonios Konstantopoulos (Young Man)\,\nEfthimia Koulouri (Hermes)\,\nGiannis Doulgeridis (Priest) \nChorus: Thanasis Karpouzis\, Varvara Patesta\, Elli Pertesi\, Gelly Hala\, Niki –Faidra Pomoni\, Leonardos Dimas \nParticipate the young actors: Giannis Stratomitros\, Nikos Margretis \nPrompt box: Aliki Pertesi \nMusicians onstage: Vangelis Halas – violin\, Thanasis Karpouzis – bagpipe\, dulcimer. \n \n \nPhotos: Maria Lampriado

SUMMARY:THE FROGS  by Aristophanes
DESCRIPTION:In ‘The Frogs’\, a comedy which was taught in Linaia in 405 BC\, Dionysus\, disappointed by the poor quality of the dramas that are produced in Athensas the great tragedians are dead\, descends into the underworld in order to bring back a great poet who is able to save Athens from the decadence. For this purpose\, he organises a poetry competition between Aeschylus and Euripides\, appointing Pluto as the judge so as to destroy him. And Aristophanes\, who relentlessly satirises the modern ethics and therefore Euripides-their representative at the time\, deems that Aeschylus is better. Aeschylus will be the winner. \n  \n    The Director’s note:  \n  \nIn The Frogs\, Aristophanes unfolds a phantasmagoric nekyiain the orchestra\, as if he were Odysseus who is searching for the way to his utopian Ithaca. One has to learn what death is in order to live out their life. The polis (city-state) has to realise which its deficiencies are\, so as to be present as a polis. It has to sink in the foreign world of Hades to obtain its identity. \nGod Dionysus will descend into Hades\, disguised as Hercules\, in order to bring Euripides back to the earth\, since not even one great poet is left in Athens anymore. Even though this trip is taken in the imposing gloom of the world of souls\, it possesses the cheerfulness of an entertaining tour which verges on the medieval carnival. \nDionysus does not descend into Hades to bring back a good old politician or a good old philosopher or general\, but in order to bring back a tragic poet. It is obvious that Aristophanes considers poetry and theatre to be the only remedy against the decadence of the country. By our own standards\, this is really strange. \n  \n \n    Performance details \n  \nDirection:  KostasFilippoglou \nTranslation:  GiorgosBlanas \nAssistant director:  GiotaSeremeti\, Silia Koi \nScenery – Costumes: TelisKarananos\, AlexandraSiafkou \nMotion: SofiaPaschou \nMusic: NikosGalenianos \nLighting: NikosVlasopoulos \nPhotography: PanosGiannakopoulos \nPerformance promotionand communication: DaisyLempesi+30 6908502631 daisylempesi@hotmail.gr \n  \n  \nCAST \n  \nActors (in order of appearance) \n  \nLakisLazopoulos \nSofia Filippidou \nDimitris Piatas \nandAntonisKafetzopoulos \n  \nTogether with: \n  \nAnnaKalaitzidou \nGiannisStefopoulos \nGiorgosSimeonidis \nErifiliStefanidou \nTasosDimitropoulos \nGiannisGiannoulis \nDimitrisDrosos \nEirini Bountali \nFivosSimeonidis \nChristosKontogeorgis \nAlexandrosChrisanthopoulos \n  \nMusicians – perfomers \n  \nStamatis Pasopoulos \nChristoph Blum \n  \nAll the cast participates in the chorus. \n  \n  \nTicket prices  \nGeneral admission 20euros \n15 euros\,  students and unemployed

SUMMARY:Timon of Athens By William Shakespeare
DESCRIPTION:TIMON OF ATHENS \nBy William Shakespeare \n(Written in 1604-1605. Performed in 1607 for the first time.) \n  \n ‘We are born to do good deeds and what else can we more rightly deem to be ours\, rather than our friends’ wealth?’ \n  \nWilliam Shakespeare borrowed the story of Timon of Athens –the generous lord who accepted and welcomed everybody\, the idealist who sincerely believed in the ideal of friendship and unconditional love and wholost his faith in humanity\, having been betrayed by the reality– from Ploutarchos and Loukianos. Based on this true story\, he created a powerful metaphor with deep meaning and vivid images; he produced a dramatic play taken from the reality of life. In this play\, Shakespeare’s era is illustrated accurately\, but it is also very familiar to modern viewers\, who recognize themselves\, human relations around them and the modern culture ideas in the characters\, the plot and the words. \n \n  \nContributors \n  \nAuthor: William Shakespeare \nTranslation: ErrikosMpelies \nDirection: TheoniReid \nMusic composition: MariaMouriki \nPainting: AristeaGravou\, Nikos Pantzopoulos \nChoreography: GeorgiaKsanthou \nMotion: TheoniReid \nScenography&Costumes: TheoniReid \nStagestructures: AristeaGravou\, NikosPantzopoulos\, TheoniReid\, AnestisChatzitheodorou \nCostume construction: EvgeniaBafaloukou\, PopiPatiri\, MariaPittakidi \nHairstyling: VasoZotali\, ArtemisChala \n  \nCast \n  \nTimon:                        GiorgosMaltabes \nApimantos:                 GiorgosTikopoulos \nAlkiviades:                 AntonisChalas \nFlavios:                       Christos Kotsarinis \nLords:                         DimitrisMamais\, KostasGarifallos \nLadies:                        AndriannaKorkodilou\, OlgaTaka \nSenators:                    LeonardosKarapiperis\, NikosPantzopoulos\, Christos Skandalis \nPainter:                       Thodoris Koulouris \nPoet:                           GiannoulisPetsas \nTimon’sservants:       VasilikiPertesi\, GiannoulisPetsas\, DimitrisTokouroglou \nLords’ servants:         AntoniaZannou-Rodamnaki\, IoannaKatsarou\, MariaPittakidi\, ChristinaRaisi\, Anna Chroni \nOldman:                      AnestisChatzitheodorou \nDaughter:                   IriniChli \nProstitutes:                Francesca Raisi\, IriniChli\, ToulaKatsiotou-Chli \nDancers:                     ChrisavgiStrantzali\, AthinaChala \nMusicians:                  KarolosGiagiannis\, LeonidasKolelis\, DimosthenisLagios\, IliasPolemis \n  \n  \n  \nTicketprice: \nGeneral admission 10 euros \n  \n

SUMMARY:Peace By Aristophanes
DESCRIPTION: The most complete\, most beautiful and most sarcastic anti-war play that has been ever written. \n\nThe PEACE performance was awarded by UNESCO in 2016 as the best children’s play of the year. \n \nPresentation of the play\n  \nThe gods loathe people because of their wars and abandon them in order for them to be destroyed. Trigeos of Athens\, a pacifist winegrower\, tries to fly to heaven on a beetle (which he grows by feeding it on manure and faeces) in order to find Zeus and beg him to stop the war. \nAt Mount Olympus he finds only Hermes\, who reveals to him that War imprisoned Peace in a dark cave\, whose entrance he blocked with a huge\, immovable rock. After numerous adventures and with the audience’s help\, Trigeos manages to set Peace free and bring her back to the people. \nHowever\, until he permanently establishes Peace\, various people come to his house. Warmongers (armourers\, fake fortune tellers\, slanderers and demagogues) who try to imprison Peace again\, but also farmers\, craftsmen\, scythe makers\, hard-working people and pacifists who make every effort to preserve and protect Peace in order to leave fairly and harmonically. \nThe play was written by Aristophanes during the Peloponnesian War\, in 421 BC\, at a time when everyone knew that the parties in the conflict would come to a compromise. This comedy is a festive play which welcomes the approaching period of peace. \n  \nThe adaptation of the play by Giannis Kalantzopoulos is considered to be the best adaptation for children that has been made up to now. He has retained the great ancient poet’s precise style and ethics\, his deep meanings as well as the magnificent melodic parts of his plays. We have combined ‘PEACE‘ with shadow play (which has borrowed many features from Aristophanes); we have imitated Spatharis‘ distinctive voice because we want our young spectators to hear sounds and to have memories from remarkable people of the authentic folk theatre\, and we have produced a wonderful theatrical performance for both children and adults. \n  \nContributors\n  \nAdaptation: Giannis Kalantzopoulos \nDirection: Makis Arvanitakis \nMusic: Dimitris Lekkas \nCostumes: Kaiti Maleskou\nCast: Makis Arvanitakis\, Thekla Manteli\,  Iordanis Kalesis\, Vasilis Mamonas\, Katerina Oikonomidi\, Dominiki Papastergiou\, Sofia Lampidoni. \n  \nGeneral admission 12 euros \n

SUMMARY:Erotokritos by Hainides band
DESCRIPTION:Erotokritos by Hainides band \nKi omos kineitai Dance Circus Collective \n  \nA seminal work in the history of Greek literature and of 17th-century Crete\, Erotokritos by VitsentzosKornaros is possibly the last surviving work referencing the great folk tradition of Greek rhapsodists. Two gurus of Cretan music\, the mystic lyre-player Psarantonis and Dimitris Apostolakis of the Hainides band\, take on Erotokritos in a mixed-media performance that rallies the talents of acrobats\, doffs its cap to medieval folk fêtes and introduces the term ‘singing narration’.The Hainides band\, in full growth\, is joined by the ‘Ki omos kineitai’group. \n \n  \nErotokritos is undoubtedly the masterpiece of the Cretan Renaissance\, and perhaps the supreme achievement of modern Greek literature. It is a verse romance written around 1600 by VitsentzosKornaros (1553-1613). In over 10\,000 lines of rhyming fifteen-syllable couplets\, the poet relates the trials and tribulations suffered by two young lovers\, Erotokritos and Aretousa (daughter of Herakles\, the king of Athens). \n \nErotokritos home trailer from kiomoskineitai on Vimeo. \nCaught in their love for one another\, their faith and virtue are subjected to various ordeals until they are eventually united in wedlock. \nSerenades\, gallant deeds\, secrets and revelations\, jousting\, tears\, finger-rings\, vows of unending love\, fatal duels and tournaments all serve to compose the tale of the love-sick hero and his beloved. \n \nIt was a tale that enjoyed enormous popularity among its Greek readership and succeeded in making Erotokritos something of a folk hero. \nThe plot of the poem was hardly original: Kornaros borrowed it from an Italian prose translation of a standard medieval French romance\, Paris et Vienne\, by Pierre de la Cypède. However\, the Cretan poet\, in true Renaissance fashion\, turned the themes of love and war in the prototype entirely to his own purposes\, showing himself to be a skilled storyteller and a sensitive interpreter of the human heart. He arranged the plot into five parts\, much like a work for the theatre\, and subtly balanced his narrative with dialogues so as to create a rhythm that sustains brilliantly the interest of the reader. \nWith exemplary internal consistency and focus\, he assembles the components of his imaginary world – located in the Greek East and centred on Athens\, ‘the throne of virtue and the river of wisdom’ – in unique fashion\, while his characters are alive with real feelings and a passionate thirst for life. His portrayals are remarkable for their rich and unaffected expressiveness\, their visual power\, the extended similes\, and rich lyrical treatment of nature by which the subtlest facets of the human soul are explored. \n \nKornaros does not hesitate to draw on the Greek poetic tradition\, particularly the vernacular romances\, of which Erotokritos comprises not only the natural development but also the supreme example. \n \n  \n  \nTicketprice: \nGeneral admission 15 euros \nFor Students (up to 17 years old)  5 euros \n  \n

SUMMARY:"Helen" by Giannis Ritsos
DESCRIPTION:‘HELEN’ \nby Giannis Ritsos \nDirected by Vasilis Papavasileiou \n  \n2001…2009…2017: ‘Helen’ by Giannis Ritsos\, embodied on stage by Vasilis Papavasileiou\, is reborn every eight years and is returning this year\, paying – as always – tribute to the power of poetry\, theatre and life. \nAlready counting 150 performances in Greece and abroad\, ‘Helen’ reembarks on its journey and travels to the Open-Air Theatre of Chora\, Andros. \nThe design of ‘Helen’ has its roots in the theatrical event that was held in summer 1999 in Pnika\, in the framework of the Athens Festival\, entitled ‘Mr Giannis Ritsos’. \n \nVasilis Papavasileiou writes about the text: \nThe ‘female monologues’ of the ‘Fourth Dimension’ which are related to the ancient times. They are performed by actresses who usually produce spectacular results (personally\, I have been lucky to admire some of these results) but they inevitably remind us of the closed world of ‘psychological theatre’. In my opinion\, the identification of the performer’s sex with the sex of the theatrical ‘persona’ is responsible for this misleading deduction. Why is it misleading? Because Giannis Ritsos is much closer to his ancient colleague than to Tennessee Williams. We could say that Williams constitutes the beginning in order for Ritsos to cross the river of the theatre and meet Euripides. Ritsos’ theatre is a theatre of language and ideas. The human passion\, whether it concerns the female or the male soul\, is lit affectionately and cruelly at the same time\, as a prey to a higher combination of powers which bear the nice names Passion\, Glory\, Beauty and form the web of our Fate. \nIn Ritsos’ monologues\, passion is not presented as an immediate experience but as a retrospection. Language is the vehicle of this retrospection. Even more so\, language and its game are the sole identity of Ritsos’ characters. The conventional names Aias\, Orestis\, Eleni etc. do not represent human beings but knots of the Myth or\, in other words\, of the indestroyable power of the Impersonal which weaves\, which knits our short life. What else did the ancient tragedy do? \n \n  \nPerformance Details: \nDirection: Vasilis Papavasileiou \nScenography: Marie-Noëlle Semet \nLighting: Eleftheria Deko \nArtistic collaborator- Production: Nikoleta Filosoglou \n  \nActors: Vasilis Papavasileiou\, Nikos Sakalidis \n  \nGeneral admission 12 euros
