A few days left until the grand premiere of the new blockbuster, at the Pallas Theatre
“Sayo’s Madness”, Jean Girondou’s iconic play opens just before the holidays on Friday, December 16. The intensive rehearsals of the brilliant troupe, with the prominent ones being Elisavet Konstantinidou, Nikos Moutsina and Athina Economakou, continue feverishly.
At the helm of the direction is Petros Zoulias, who has also undertaken the modern brand new adaptation of the work, surrounded by a group of great contributors. Evanthia Reboutsika puts her own unique stamp with the original musical composition and songs. Maria Filippou is in charge of the spectacular scenery, Deni Vahlioti the impressive costumes, Melina Masha the lighting design, and Kiki Baka the kinesiology guidance.
The leading role of Sayo’s “Madness” – known as Oreli – is taken over by Elizabeth Konstantinidou, which will embody the struggle of an eccentric Parisian woman, against every form of power that affects our lives. With her o Nikos Moutsinas in the role of Rakosllektos, a street theater demon and the Athena Economakou, in the role of the sweet and sensitive Irma, a Parisian prostitute with a pure, child-like soul. The main actors in the show are Yannis Siamsiaris, Kostas Kazakas, Christina Tsafou, Stella Ghika, Georgia Kallergi, Stathis Mantzoros, Prodromos Tosounidis, Efthimis Georgopoulos, Makis Patelis and six other actors.
Oreli, the genius “crazy” from the Saillot region in the French Trocadero, is an unpretentious, idealist who sees the world as beautiful and happy. When she learns of the plan of a group of corrupt corporate executives and cynical businessmen who plan to mine Paris for oil, she mobilizes all her friends who, like her, resist the power of money and greed.
Petros Zoulias, once again confronts the classic masterpiece of Girondos and brings it to today, underlining its topicality, in the times we are going through. “Sayo’s Madman” was one of Katina Paxinos’ greatest performance successes, with Alexis Minotis by her side, at the National Theater in 1966. Fifteen years later (1981), Andreas Voutsinas, for the K.Th.B. E., gave new life to the play, with the protagonist Despo Diamantidou, in a historical interpretation. Antigoni Valakou and Anna Panagiotopoulou have also performed the title role of “Sayo’s Madness” for the National Theatre.
The inspired and always topical text of “The Madness of Sayo”, without fear or passion, scorches the adventurism that we find in all the expressions of our socio-political path, such as you have recorded in recent years and paves the way for the predominance of humanity over opportunistic profit , highlighting as the only way the acceptance and formation of a society of solidarity and mutual respect.
