For the project:
This important play, 17 years after its premiere and more than 27 years after it was first written, proves to be more contemporary and more relevant than ever. Human exploitation, the plight of immigrants, sexist treatment of women, economic inequality, and power dynamics—the issues the play addresses—have likely intensified in our time rather than subsided. “Unshaven Chins” returns after more than 10 years, during which our country has undergone decisive changes, to provoke thought and stir emotions, as if it were speaking about the here and now.
“Unshaven Chins” is a realistic social drama with existential and poetic undertones. Through humor and intense suspense, we follow “real” and familiar to us, with all their weaknesses, guilt, charm, absurdity, tenderness, and cruelty.
Their secrets are gradually revealed, and with them, the story’s plot unravels piece by piece until the gripping finale. Three men lay their souls bare before the object of their desire, becoming both the perpetrators of a woman’s suffering and victims of their own masculinity. Unable to control their passion, they come face-to-face with their hidden, terrifying selves.
Director Giorgos Paloumbis creates a powerful staging of this particular story.
Case:
Three men, hospital employees, work every day in their department in the basement wing. From the upper floors, they receive, sort, care for, and temporarily store the bodies of those who did not survive. They follow a routine of standard procedures. Tonight, however, a woman “arrives” to shake up their lifeless reality. Secrets, revelations, and conflicts will bring to light their weaknesses and base instincts. Crime, revenge, and guilt follow, and by morning, nothing will be the same.
