The dead no longer speak.
Dressed in the beauty of death.
They have taken so many secrets with them.
That no spring.
With whatever sprouts.
Can reveal to us.
*Vassilis Vassilikos
The Municipal and Regional Theatre of Kavala, as part of the 67th Philippi Festival, presents its fourth production on Tuesday, 20th August at 21:00 at the Ancient Theatre of Philippi, and original theatrical and musical performance based on Euripides’ Hecuba and Vassilis Vassilikos’ Z, directed, compiled and adapted by Konstantinos Chatzis, with music by Giorgos Koumentakis.
The iconic words of Vassilis Vassilikos engage in a dialogue with the words of Euripides and the music of Giorgos Koumentakis.
The history of man, his endless thirst for power, destruction, and war, portrayed as a heartbreaking portrait of the modern world, with the words of Vassilis Vassilikos and of Euripides as the vehicle. A study on war, exile, genocide, hopes, dreams, nightmares, and darkness.
A wandering. Speech fragments. Sounds. Rhythms. Bodies. Faces. Movements. History as a curved arrow. And the music. A “different” wandering. Human steps. The rhythm, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, steady or irregular, certain or uncertain, narrates the story of every person wandering in an empty, destroyed city. Fast breaths, groans, fragmented whispers.
