The ones that annoy us, suit us, bring us together, and make us who we are. <\/p>&#13;\n<p>Why in Greece:<\/p>&#13;\n<p>It&#8217;s the little things, the everyday things, the &#8220;that&#8217;s how we always do it.&#8221;<br\/>It&#8217;s the oil under the sink.<br\/>These are the orphaned dolmades.<br\/>It&#8217;s the ferry ticket we&#8217;re booking at the last minute.<br\/>It\u2019s customary to make the sign of the cross when a hearse passes by\u2014even if we\u2019re riding a motorcycle.<br\/>It is, after all, the Greek psyche in its most concentrated form.<\/p>&#13;\n<p>And Sofia Moutidou deconstructs it\u2014not to ridicule it, but to understand it. And to laugh along with it. And with us.  <strong> <\/strong><\/p>&#13;\n<p> <\/p>&#13;\n<p><strong>A PERFORMANCE \u2013 MIRROR<\/strong><\/p>&#13;\n<p>The performance <strong>doesn\u2019t simply list habits<\/strong>. It interprets us, lays us bare, and\u2014above all\u2014sheds light on us in a way that helps us see ourselves differently. Not as \u201cflaws,\u201d but as pieces of a collective identity that, if nothing else, unites us.<\/p>&#13;\n<p>With sharp prose, hard-won truth, and a sense of bittersweet recognition, Moutidou invites us to choose:<\/p>&#13;\n<p><strong>&#8220;Huya or Death?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>&#13;\n<p>Because, as the saying goes:<br\/>\u201cFirst the soul leaves\u2014and then the body.\u201d<\/p>&#13;\n<p><strong>Information<\/strong>:<\/p>&#13;\n<p><strong>Performance duration: 120\u2019 <\/strong><\/p>&#13;\n<p><strong>Date<\/strong>: Thursday, June 18 &amp; Thursday, July 9<\/p>&#13;\n<p><strong>Start time: <\/strong> 9:00 p.m.<\/p>&#13;\n<p><strong>Doors open<\/strong> at 8:00 p.m.<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p class=\"has-bg-color-color has-text-dark-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-9111f2cfc063b095dd00adddede5e44b wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Group Reservations Department: 2111026277 &amp; 210 2117240 ext. 305 ( <\/strong>weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.) \u2013 email: reservations@a-th.gr<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>&#13;\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; at the Lambeti Summer Theater, TARATSA &#13; &#13; Thursday, June 18 &amp; Thursday, July 9 &#13; Following its huge success and a string of sold-out performances, the hilarious and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45344,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","cpt_portfolio_group":[486,485,491],"class_list":["post-45343","cpt_portfolio","type-cpt_portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cpt_portfolio_group-lambeti-terrace-2","cpt_portfolio_group-summer-2026","cpt_portfolio_group-theater"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/45343","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=45343"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/45343\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45345,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/45343\/revisions\/45345"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cpt_portfolio_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio_group?post=45343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
