GREEK ART THEATRE KAROLOS KOUN<\/p>\n
‘<\/strong>Medea’<\/strong> by Euripides<\/p>\n The barbarian side of love<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMedea is barbarian twice, by origin and by love\u201d, Giorgos Chimonas writes in the foreword of his translation. Love has two sides, the barbarian one, plunged into pain and darkness, as well as the dreamlike, sensational, ideal one. Through the myth of Medea, as it is presented in the work of Euripides, but also through sections of texts and poems of the ancient Greek literature (Plato, Theocritus, Parthenios, Ploutarchos, Sappho, Archilochos, Meleagros and others) which are presented in the stasima (chorus parts between the main dialogues of the play), the performance of the Greek Art Theatre wishes to talk about the inexplicable element of love; about this \u201cgreat evil that makes people break down\u201d; about the desire which is tied to pain, the vows of eternal love and faith which are made to be broken; about betrayal, revenge and destruction; about this terrifying passage from the light into the darkness of the brutality of love. Because \u201cthere isn\u2019t such terrible and incurable wrath compared to that which originates from people who once loved each other<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n Translation: Giorgos Chimonas<\/p>\n Direction: Marianna Kalbari<\/p>\n Setting-Costumes: Konstantinos Zamanis<\/p>\n Music: Panayiotis Kalantzopoulos<\/p>\n Choreography: Mariza Tsiga<\/p>\n Light Design: Stella Kaltsou<\/p>\n Performance dramaturge: Elena Triantafilopoulou<\/p>\n 1st<\/sup> Assistant Director: Katerina Georgoudaki<\/p>\n 2nd<\/sup> Assistant Director: Marilena Moschou<\/p>\n Assistant Choreographer: Maria Papadopoulou<\/p>\n Assistant Light Designer: Marina Konta<\/p>\n The sections of texts included in the stasima are presented in translation-rendition by Ioannis Polemis (Theocritus), Elena Triantafilopoulou and Marianna Kalbari.<\/em><\/p>\n Starring: Maria Nafpliotou, Charis Fragoulis, Alexandra Kazazou, Foteini Baxevani, Theodora Dimou, Sirmo Keke, Ioanna Mavrea, Alexandros Milonas, Gerasimos Gennatas, Konstantina Takalou.<\/p>\n Four students of the Drama School of the Greek Art Theatre and four musicians also participate in the performance.<\/p>\n Ticket price: 18 euros, 14 for students, unemployed<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The barbarian side of love<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2539,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[194,43],"yoast_head":"\n
