After the great success of last year, the award-winning play “<\/strong> Axyrista”<\/strong> <\/strong>Chins<\/strong> \u00bb<\/strong> by Giannis<\/strong> <\/strong>Tsirou<\/strong> ,<\/strong> which was honored with the First Prize for New Writer in 2004 by the Ministry of Culture, continues in the new 2022-2023 theater season from November 5 at the Mikro<\/strong> Horn<\/strong> Theater, directed by Giorgos<\/strong> Paloumpis<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n In this year\u2019s production of the play, Stathis Stamoulakatos<\/strong> plays the role of Savvas, while the roles of Kyriakos, Marinakis, and Irina are played by Ilias<\/strong> Valasis<\/strong>, Spyros Asimenios<\/strong>, and Antonia<\/strong> Pitoulidou<\/strong>, respectively.<\/p>\n\n For<\/strong> the<\/strong> project:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n This important play, 15 years after its first staging* and more than 20 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\u2014the issues addressed by the play\u2014have likely intensified in our time rather than subsided. \u201cUnshaven Chins\u201d returns after more than ten years, during which our country has undergone decisive changes, to provoke thought and stir the emotions, as if it were speaking directly to the here and now. <\/p>\n\n “Unshaven Chins” is a realistic social drama with existential and poetic undertones. Through humor and intense suspense, we follow \u201creal\u201d and familiar to us, with all their weaknesses, guilt, charm, absurdity, tenderness, and cruelty. <\/p>\n\n Their secrets are gradually revealed, and with them, the story\u2019s plot unravels piece by piece until the gripping finale.<\/p>\n\n These are trapped men who lay themselves bare emotionally before the object of their desire; they become both the perpetrators of a woman\u2019s suffering and victims of their own masculinity. Unable to control their passion, they come face to face with their hidden, terrifying selves. <\/p>\n\n Director Giorgos Paloumbis is once again collaborating with playwright Yannis Tsiros (\u201cInvisible Olga,\u201d National Theater, 2011), and drawing on his experience staging contemporary realistic Greek plays, he creates a powerful production of this particular story.<\/p>\n\n Case:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 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 \u201carrives\u201d 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. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" at the Mikro Horn Theater After the great success of last year, the award-winning play “ Axyrista” Chins \u00bb by Giannis Tsirou , which was honored with the First Prize…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45977,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","cpt_portfolio_group":[459,461],"class_list":["post-45976","cpt_portfolio","type-cpt_portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cpt_portfolio_group-2022-2023","cpt_portfolio_group-mikro-horn-theater"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/45976","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=45976"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/45976\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45983,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/45976\/revisions\/45983"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cpt_portfolio_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio_group?post=45976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
