Jour fixe on the Pantheons: The family opened their house just before the big premiere on Sky

Who are the Pantheons? You can understand them or as advised by Nina the newlywed Marmo “don’t mess with the Pantheons”? What secrets do the walls of the megalopolis mansion of Kifissia and each individual family member hide? We will find out everything in the coming months when the Pantheons will enter our homes from Sky TV.

The series, based on the iconic work of the academic Tassos Athanasiadis is coming to make television history again starting Monday, September 18, at 9 p.m.

Yesterday afternoon, however, Panthei opened their home to the public for the first time, at the Kappa studios in Spata, and impressed. The heavy metropolitan living room with the original chesterfield sofas, the dining room, the library with the hidden exits create at first glance the feeling of diving into time: They transport the viewer to the interwar period where the action begins to unfold: At the same time, on two levels, in Greek history, but also in people’s stories starring, their relationships, their -difficult- balances, their secrets, their passions, their loves.

Yesterday afternoon at Pantheon’s jour fixe, o director of the series Spyros Michalopoulos, set designer Antonis Chalkias and the costume designer Konstantinos Zamanis they guided the journalists to the house of the Pantheons and explained at the same time how the sets and costumes function in the revival of an entire era, but also in capturing and bringing to life the characters created by Tasos Athanasiadis.

THE Katia Dandoulakis who made history in the role of Marmos in the first TV adaptation of the play in the 70s, stood this time in the house of the Pantheos as Chrysostomi, the unmarried, strict eldest daughter of Vlasis Pantheos, the daughter who tries at all costs to keep the family and its principles and she who clearly shows her disposition towards the “intruder” Marmo, the young wife of her brother Andreas. “They gave me the scripts, I was looking through the pages, I’m not here, I’m not here, Marmo is nowhere…”, she said a little later laughing and with the new Marmo, the Melia Kreiling. “I loved her,” she said Mrs. Dandoulakis, making it clear that on screen things will not be like that between them at all.

The producer G. Karagiannis he emphasized that the transfer of the Pantheons to television was a lifelong dream for him. “I’ve been trying to make Pantheos for three years,” he said characteristically and thanked Sky for hosting the series on its frequency. She was excited about the new adaptation of the project to the small screen yesterday afternoon Mrs. Maria Athanasiadouwho was quick to highlight the value of bringing literary works to television.

However, at a time when viewers have had a small taste of what will follow in the coming months, the title song composed by Minos Matsas in lyrics by Sofia Kapsourouis already beginning to come to the lips: (So let’s write) History.

After the tour of the Pantheon home, however, the journalists and TV people who were at the Kappa studios yesterday afternoon, had the opportunity to see a part of the first episode, together with the protagonists and all the contributors of the series. The aesthetic is cinematic and the sketching of the characters is quick – we get to know the family through the eyes of Marmos, the moment she enters the living room of the Kifissia mansion with Andreas Pantheos. We immediately feel the tension between her and Kitso Galatis – the bohemian painter, her husband’s nephew, but also her rejection by Chrysostomi. And all this shortly before the patriarch Vlasis Pantheos, who is uniquely interpreted by George Konstantinouhe asks to see her, to approve her before taking his last breath surrounded by his children, exclaiming “what a beauty” in a highly emotional scene.

The feeling left by this small excerpt – beyond the joy on the faces of the protagonists – was that of anticipation for the sequel: On Monday night, on Sky TV.
