The successful play\u201cThe Apology of Marie Curie<\/strong>,\u201d<\/strong>written by Efstathia<\/strong> and directed and adapted by Kirk\u00e9 Karali<\/strong>, will run starting October 2, for its fourth theatrical season<\/strong>, at the Apothiki Theater<\/strong>. Peggy Trikalioti<\/strong>, who has won two awards for her performance, plays the role of Marie Curie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n The story\u2014unknown to the general public\u2014of an important woman in world history. Her dreams, her career, her legacy in science, her love affairs, and her relationship with her daughters. <\/p>\n\n A romantic scandal in Paris in 1911 puts a female scientist at risk of missing out on a Nobel Prize. The protagonists of this scandal were Marie Curie and Paul Langevin, also a scientist, a former student of her husband, Pierre Curie, and a married man. The French press downplayed the scientist\u2019s second Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and French society criticized her, forgetting her magnificent contributions. <\/p>\n\n This real-life event serves as the starting point for a play set in a courtroom. There, Marie\u2019s fictional trial takes place, and she is given the opportunity to present her defense. And the best defense is none other than the story of her life. Her early years in Warsaw under Tsarist occupation, her studies at the Sorbonne, radioactivity, her first Nobel Prize\u2026 Marie, in the dock, in a situation of flagrant injustice, unfolds her own personal story with emotion and intensity, proving that the path of the world\u2019s idealists\u2014especially women\u2014is not strewn with rose petals. <\/p>\n\n Eustathia\u2019s text takes as its starting point the biography of Marie Curie, written by her daughter Eva, while bringing together documented historical facts combined with elements of fiction that sensitively highlight the unknown facets of a personality (researcher, professional, wife, mother, lover). A story that still resonates with us today. The story of a woman who, as early as the beginning of the last century, sought to break free from the stereotypes that society had imposed on her. <\/p>\n\n The play ran for three seasons at the Stathmos Theater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" at the Apothiki Theater The successful play\u201cThe Apology of Marie Curie,\u201dwritten by Efstathia and directed and adapted by Kirk\u00e9 Karali, will run starting October 2, for its fourth theatrical season,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45072,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","cpt_portfolio_group":[459,460],"class_list":["post-45071","cpt_portfolio","type-cpt_portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cpt_portfolio_group-2022-2023","cpt_portfolio_group-apothiki-theater"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/45071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cpt_portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45071"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/45071\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45093,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/45071\/revisions\/45093"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cpt_portfolio_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio_group?post=45071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
