• To you who listen to me, by Loulas Anagnostakis directed by Christos Theodoridis at Spyros Evagelatos Amphitheatre.

After two seasons, the KTHBE show, “To you who listen to me” will be presented, in co-production with the cultural organization “Lykofos”, in Athens. The public will have the opportunity to watch the topical and deeply political text of Loula Anagnostaki in an original direction by Christos Theodoridis, at the Spyros Evagelatos Amphitheatre.

Viewers will watch the personal stories that “touch” on the strong desire of all the people of the world for freedom, equality and meaningful acceptance of diversity. It is a show that always provokes interesting discussions and touches on timeless, deeply political issues with man at the center fighting and claiming the self-evident. Lula Anagnostaki in “To those who listen to me”, perhaps one of her most important works, invites us once again to dive into the past and emerge into the present, filling our lungs with the air of the future. To converse with the work and ask ourselves what we fear, what we hope for and what the tomorrow that sleeps within us looks like.

They play: Paris Alexandropoulos (Gino), Semiramis Ambatzoglou (Trudel), Nikolas Drosopoulos (Nikos), Eleni Thymiopoulou (Maria), George Kolovos (Ivan), Nikos Milias (Agis), Chrysi Bakhtsevani (Sofia), Dimitris Naziris (Hans), Betty Nikolesi (Elsa)

  • 8 “In between”: Exhibition of Antonis Staveris at the Skoufas gallery

Exhibition

Eerie views of industrial Athens and portraits of plants inside the studio, in friends’ houses in Berlin and Paris, outside in archaeological sites, compose, in the Skoufa gallery, a kind of personal diary of the artist Antonis Staveris, where fragments of urban life are recorded and synthesized. Staveris’s images are so intense like luminous inscriptions that you can get lost in them like the optical illusions of the desert. And yes, he remains a painter of the modern city, but in his last sentence he attempts to dig beyond its obviousness.

Known for the color delicacy of the palette and the solid construction of the composition, the painter in his latest works travels the eye to industrial roofs, to stairwells – pigeon houses on the roofs, outside our field of vision. Accordingly, in his color he “excavates” places where broken monuments are pooled, protected not in museums, but in the bowels of nature. Ancient ruins that are at the side of our attention, are restored testifying that we do not live next to them; we live because of them.

The exhibition is curated by Giorgos Mylonas
Monday and Wednesday at 10:00 – 16:00, Tuesday and Thursday at 10:00 – 21:00, Friday at 10:00 – 20:00, Saturday at 10:30 – 16:00
