To those who think that Greece does not matter today, let me say that they could not make a bigger mistake. Today, like old Greece, is of the utmost importance for anyone looking to find himself.

Henry Miller, 1891-1980, American author

6 out of 5: Aris Delagamatikas

Year 5 – Only a few photos and very few memories. I have only one characteristic and very beautiful memory of my uncle, who passed away a year later, of us all being together as a family at my grandfather's house, eating sweets and laughing. In general, I remember being a child with a lot of energy, laughing, mischievous, a tease, but also very emotional with strong empathy. And somewhere around then the first artistic worries started as I loved to draw passionately! Inexperienced markers, the ones who changed color and painting as they went!

 

Year 15  όνειρα – Difficult period. A little bit of adolescence, a little bit of high school, in general the period of 13-14-15 I wasn't very myself one would say. I was kind of closed to myself. I think at 16, when I started high school, I started to find myself again, to be more popular, sociable, with more dreams, with more appetite. What was certain was that at 15 I had already discovered that I have a good voice, that I have a musical ear and understand the notes. And somehow the dreams began to be created... I sang a lot, many genres, special love then for rock/metal music, Linkin Park and Metallica, but also the big old well-known ballads. I always participated in the school choir and was always the best in the class in music class. Also participating in school theater activities, so little by little the dreams started to grow!

 

Year 25 acts – The beginning of everything. Station year. Having finished the University, having also passed the army, I am enrolling in the Drama School! A very good friend of mine then basically wrote me, she calls me one day and says – On such and such day you have an audition for drama school! And so I went! I didn't dare to do it on my own and she always pushed me because she saw that I was good and that I really wanted it. For some reason I considered it impossible, elusive, for certain people, who have a certain background, a family from an artistic background... And yet! It was simple, to take an exam at a drama school! I passed straight away, luckily I also found a job in a store, skydiving suitable so I could not miss classes and be able to pay it every month as the tuition was very expensive. In a magical way, everything fell into place then, and they went on their way! Huge excitement, first year of school, I really discovered myself, my potential, my voice, my dreams! 

 

35 years of actions – I have a few more years for this.. Getting closer, of course, I can say that the dream continues. Beautiful collaborations, beautiful jobs, and at 35, I may have found a little more about my identity as an artist among new things that I am trying for the first time. 

 

Year 45 – Just the idea makes me nervous! Me 45?? I was 22 yesterday! I hope that by then I will have found a more stable position and path in the field, because now there is still difficulty. I think this is the number one want that all of us in the artistic field are looking for, stability. Which is so difficult because as they say today you are, tomorrow you are not. Wrestling is unimaginable and you have to constantly prove who you are, over and over and over. This I wish has been somewhat normalized by the recognition of my potential. So I think personally and artistically stability is what describes my wants for 45! 

 

Now – As we said, the fight continues! I am constantly looking for things and challenging myself to be tested in theater and singing experiences. For example this year my role in Mozart's opera, The Magic Flute, directed by Carmen Ruggeri, Prince Tamino, is a wonderful challenge for me. Rehearsals are a magical process that excites me even more! Opera is a place I've always been inclined to want to join, but with great fear of venturing into. Now things came like this that she came to me and in the future I want to enter a little more in this world. At the same time there are some concerts, some live, with jazz sounds that I had not dealt with in the past and now I see that it is going very well and there is attraction from both sides! In general, theater, television, and musical things are coming that I see and just can't wait!
