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.

At the MAVILI THEATRE FROM OCTOBER 19

 

In MAVILI THEATRE comes from Monday 19 October and every Tuesday, the theatrical performance "WHITE NIGHTS OF A CLOWN'Of Vasilis Katsikonouris, in direction & music Yannis Zouganelis starring the Manos Vakusis & την Maria PapalambrouWith them in the performance is Efthimis Georgopoulos. In video Article Participating are: Yannis Bostantzoglou, Marina Tavoulari, Efthymis Georgopoulos, Yannis Zouganelis, Vasilis Katsikonouris.

 This is a new theatrical play based on the White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky, a classic - profoundly shocking - novella, and not simply for an adaptation, as Vasilis Katsikonouris notes.

 A forgotten clown, who retains the core of the Dostoevsky hero – the loneliness, the need for daydreaming that acrobats between fantasy and reality – meets a woman who acts as a mirror of his unfulfilled desires.

 Fyodor and Nastenka meet by chance and share moments that transform loneliness into hope and anticipation into a dream. 

 Here there is an interesting shift in the ages of the novel's two main characters that further emphasizes their loneliness and sense of helplessness.

 A deeply human story about love, the need for human contact and the moments that, no matter how brief, remain within us forever. A performance that balances between laughter and emotion and reminds us that sometimes, a single encounter is enough to change everything. 

 

Note from director Yannis Zouganelis:

 «Theater serves the miracle of life. My need to live and exist artistically stems from the search for this miracle. 

This is how I love, enjoy, think, smell, fall in love and compose.

I admired the acting skills of Manos Vakusis and the dynamic presence of Maria Papalambro. Without actors there is no theater, and both serve it with dedication, knowledge and ethics.

Together with the worthy writer Vasilis Katsikonouris, Efthimis Georgopoulos who plays in the play, Yiannis Bostantzoglou and Marina Tavoulari who participate in video Article, as well as our distinguished collaborators Pantelis Makkas, Tania Rokkas, Konstantinos Varelidis and Domniki Vasiageorgis – we worked with the aim of delivering to the world a performance that highlights the sovereignty of the God Love.. "
