Mina Adamaki, talented actress, group leader, founding member of the Free Stage, passed away today.
Mina Adamaki was born in Volos in 1944. She graduated from the Law School of the University of Athens, but her goal was the theater.
She studied at the Dramatic School of the Art Theater of Karolos Koon (1966) and first appeared in the theater as a student of the school in the play “The Murder of Maras”.
He then left for London, where he attended theater and pantomime workshops. In 1978 in Athens, together with Nikos Armaos and Yiannis Houvardas, they founded the Theatriki Syntechnia, while he was also one of the founding members of the Free Stage.
Her first television role was that of “Lena” in “Astropegia” directed by Diagoras Chronopoulos, in ’80-81. In the late 80s came the role of “Irene” in “Three Graces”, with which she gained great recognition and love from the general public. He also played in Reppa-Papathanassiou’s films “Safe Sex”, “Crying Out of Paradise” and “Oxygono”. Her last appearance in the cinema was in 2009, in the film “Sula come again”, directed by V. Myrianthopoulos, while her last appearance in the theater was in “Phaedra”, in the summer of 2021, directed by Manos Karatzogiannis.
Informed of the loss of Mina Adamaki, the Minister of Culture and Sports Lina Mendoni made the following statement:
“The concept and sense of freedom characterized Mina Adamaki’s choices throughout her career. From her studies at the Art Theater of Karolos Koon, she changed direction and became a key member of Eleftheris Skenis, the group that brought new life to theatrical comedy and revue.
He broadcasted in the early years of free radio, starred in big hits in the first period of free, private television. Even if no one had ever seen her in the theater, she is remembered – three decades later – as Irene in ‘Three Graces’. But he did not rest on this success, he did not choose the ease of standardization. He played different roles in the theater, collaborated with young directors. Kindness, humor, directness characterized her performances and her personality. It’s these things about her that made her so endearing, that’s why we’ll miss her. I express my deepest condolences to her family and friends.”
The Deputy Minister of Culture and Sports, Nikolas Giatromanolakis, made the following statement:
“It is with sadness that we say goodbye to the charismatic Mina Adamaki, talented actress, troupe leader, founding member of the legendary Free Stage whose imprint on Greek theater is still very strong. As Irini in Treis Harites, Lena in Astropeggia, Eliza in the National Team of Greece but also as an integral part of many theater and television ensembles, she was loved by the public, who will remember her fondly and will continue to see her in their favorite series. My deepest condolences to her many friends.”
