Civil Epics by Phaidon Chatziantoniou
FARIS Municipal and Regional Theatre of Kalamata
Arrogant and narcissistic Alcibiades at the time of the Peloponnesian War (5th century B.C.), Prince Demetrios Palaiologos, one of the protagonists of the Palaiologan civil war in the Peloponnese (15th century A.D.), chieftain Odysseas Androutsos and the civil war during the Greek Revolution of 1821 and, finally, Greek Communist Party leader Nikos Zachariadis, a protagonist of the civil war of the 1940s, are the central figures of a play that holds a mirror up to the face of Greece.
Cynicism, provocation, narcissism, ridicule, downfall and strife dominate the narrative of a performance beyond the ordinary, which takes its viewers on a journey of reflection.
