A few days remain for the most emotional concert of this year’s program of the upgraded Municipal Theater of Lycabettus. The musical tribute titled “Thank you Loukiane” comes on Monday 25th September from the Municipality of Athens to fill the Athenian hill again with the unsurpassed songs of Loukianos Kilaidonis, performed by talented singers and actors of the younger generation he inspired, who will meet in Lycabettus for another “date” with him.

In the great company of Lycabettus, which consists of Themi Andreadis, Spyros Grammeno, Doro Dimosthenous, Yasemi Kilaidoni, Maria Kilaidoni, Nadia Kontogeorgi, Panos Mouzouraki, Penny Baltatzi, Alexandros Bourdoumi, Christos Papadopoulos and Manoli Famellos, Phoebus Delivorias is added, whom Loukianos Kilaidonis had already distinguished from his first steps and influenced him decisively in his creative path. Everyone together will honor the “poor and only cowboy” of the Greek pentagram with songs and stories in his favorite theater.

In the musical tribute, the spectators will enjoy unforgettable songs by Loukianos that still impress today as they remain relevant. Mass-sung and rousing tracks such as “Anthem of the Black Dogs (We Say Yes)», o Hatzipetris (“Is it the fat man’s fault?”) and “The match”, nostalgic stories like the one in “Summer cinema” but also songs full of emotion like the melodic “Decadenza» will be heard again on the hill.

Also, for the first time, during the concert they will be shown rare video-documents from a total of seven legendary, pioneering appearances of Lucian in Lycabettus, material that comes from his rich personal archive, creating a special and highly moving audio-visual spectacle that uniquely unites the past of the historical theater with the present of its new era. Luciano and Lycabettus “together” again, in a tribute that will be remembered for a long time.
