The sex life of Mr. and Mrs. Papacharalambous at the Chora theater

Yiannis Zouganelis, with the valuable help of thousands of viewers, cured the "Sex life of Mr. and Mrs. . . .
Nikolaidis" and now tackles the "Sex life of Mr. and Mrs. Papacharalambous".
That's what the sequel will be called, the number two, the new version or, if you prefer, the sequel sold out (for two theatrical seasons) comedy by Dimitra Papadopoulou. This year's psychoanalysts are Gerasimos Skiadaresis and Joyce Eveidi. Through their own relationship, a new condition of psychoanalysis takes shape on stage.

Mr. and Mrs. Nikolaidis found each other and successfully redefined their sexuality. For’ this and they safely introduced the sexologist Giannis Leonardo to their good friends Gerasimos and Joyce.
What exactly is going on?; Mr. and Mrs. Papacharalambous are going through a sexual crisis in the financial crisis and the most famous psycho-sexologist in Greece (Giannis Zouganelis) undertakes to solve their problem, putting them in a group therapy, in which… the audience also participates! Spectators and actors become a psychotherapy group under the direction of the strange doctor, who seeks to guide everyone to sexual happiness.

In relation to 2010, when the project was first uploaded, now the economic problems are even worse and the libido of the Greeks is even more depressed. In this particular case, the couple was illegitimate for years, until their relationship was legalized. Now, he experiences his sexuality under conditions of married life and is subject to the wear and tear of routine and everyday life, which combined with the pressure of the economic crisis, it makes the situation seem out of control. Add in the dissonance of characters on a political level. Both, once KNITES. Now no more, Gerasimos, on the other hand, is a journalist by profession- became Tsipras, Miss Joyce - hairdresser, with her own business - voted Samara. All this and much more, such as unconfessed passions, strange desires and repressed are revealed, recorded and psychoanalyzed.

While the couple performs on stage "en iko en Dimos" the audience participates in decompression exercises, of relaxation and laughter therapy and expels years of pent-up anger.  It also guides the fate of the couple in the most democratic way. Elections!

The "Sex Life of Mr. and Mrs. Papacharalambous" is our daily life. Gerasimos and Joyce's sessions capture the lives of all of us. Dimitra Papadopoulou writes yet another realistic fiction that mirrors us, on the subject of human relations, their wear and tear and the attempt to regenerate them. She explains: "While sex since ancient times has been the cheapest entertainment, with the crisis many couples are now obliged to pay (SS.: the doctor) to remember how it's done".
More at the "Chora" theater . "The sexual life of Mr. and Mrs. Papacharalambous" with Yiannis Zouganelis, Gerasimos Skiadaresi and Joyce Eveidi before you soon!

Jan Fabre: The power of theatrical madness at the Athens Concert Hall

The Athens Concert Hall presents its performance Jan Fabre, "The Power of Theatrical Madness" at14 and 15 November 2012.

 “A kind of theater quiz, lasting four hours and twenty minutes", according to journalist Barbara Frytak. "The Power of Theatrical Madness" (The power of theatrical Madness), is a play for five women, ten men and a lyric singer, which measures a course 28 years and is a historical performance. Not only in terms of its place in the overall work of Jan Fabre (it is the first work that established him internationally), but also because it defines the extreme point reached by the economy of illusion before it is overcome.

As a pivotal point in the history of theatrical illusion Fabre chooses an impressive creation by Wagner, "The Ring of the Nibelungen". It was Wagner who transformed the opera into a Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art) and the first to turn a popular means of entertainment into a product of autonomous aesthetics. Fabre creates his own Gesamtkunstwerk, mixing a composition of different elements (eclecticism), where the blunt predominates, emphasis and mannerism, while at the same time all this bluster is interrupted and dissolved by a sense of realism.

In "the power of theatrical madness", the theater of the 19th century is presented as the most favorite pastime of the upper class, given over to seductive illusions. Through the subversive work of Jan Fabre finally emerges the power of an entirely new, modern theatre: beyond Wagner – in addition to all the reenactors who are "present" throughout the performance, from Bezar to Brook, from Mabu Mines to Muller. Audio excerpts of Wagner, Strauss, Bizet et al. mixed with the minimalism of Wim Mertens.

The show has no intermission, however, spectators can leave the hall and return during the performance. The bar will be open throughout the project. The idea, the direction, the sets and lighting are by Jan Fabre, the dancers are members of the troupe Troubleyn, the costumes(1984) the historical performance has been edited by Paul Engels, while Katarzyna Mielczarek of the Megaros performance. The event is held in collaboration with art historian Katerina Koskina.

The show is for adults. Not recommended for ages under 16 years.

Καταργείται η βενζίνη super (LRP)!

Μέσα στο νέο πλέγμα μέτρων, που ανακοινώθηκε από τα από τα συναρμόδια υπουργεία Ανάπτυξης, Οικονομικών και ΠΕΚΑ, είναι και η κατάργηση της βενζίνης LRP (η γνωστή super)!

Η κατάργηση της βενζίνης LRP γίνεται με στόχο την απελευθέρωση υποδομών (δεξαμενές κ.λπ.) οι οποίες δεσμεύονται σήμερα για το συγκεκριμένο καύσιμο και δεδομένου ότι οι καταναλώσεις έχουν περιοριστεί στο ελάχιστο (1,4% στο σύνολο των βενζινών) καθώς αφορούν μικρό αριθμό αυτοκινήτων παλαιάς τεχνολογίας.

Από τα στοιχεία της Γενικής Γραμματείας Μεταφορών, προκύπτει ότι το 2010 it was 50.000 vehicles, while the 2011 μειώθηκαν ακόμη περισσότερο στα 30.000. Τα συγκεκριμένα ΙΧ -αλλά και τα ιστορικά, που ενδιαφέρουν πολλούς ιδιοκτήτες- θα μπορούν να κινούνται με ειδικές πρόσθετες ουσίες στην αμόλυβδη (κόστους περί τα 4 λεπτά ανά λίτρο).

Antonis Remos : «Αν έχω προδοθεί στον έρωτα δεν το ξέρω»

Με αφορμή την πρεμιέρα του την ερχόμενη Παρασκευή στο «Αθηνών Αρένα» μαζί με τον Στέλιο Ρόκκο, ο Αντώνης Ρέμος μίλησε στην κάμερα της εκπομπής «Ελένη» για τη συνεργασία τους αλλά και τη φιλική τους σχέση.

«Δεν είναι απλά μια συνεργασία, είναι μια συνεύρεση φίλων. Δεν κάναμε ποτέ παρέα αλλά ένιωσα ότι έφτασε η στιγμή να συναντηθούμε επί σκηνής. Κάνουμε και παρέα εκτός μαγαζιού με τον Στέλιο ο οποίος θα μου μάθει και ψάρεμα» είπε αρχικά ο γνωστός τραγουδιστής, ενώ μιλώντας για τις διαφορετικές φάσεις στην προσωπική τους ζωή (ο Στέλιος Ρόκκος βγήκε πρόσφατα από μια μεγάλη σχέση), ο Αντώνης Ρέμος δήλωσε ότι «αυτός είναι σε μια φάση αναστάτωσης ενώ εγώ ηρεμίας. Θα τον παρασύρω μάλλον στην ηρεμία». Το σχήμα του «Αθηνών Αρένα» συμπληρώνει η Ελένη Φουρέιρα.

Alongside, ο Αντώνης Ρέμος ανέφερε πως στον έρωτα δεν έχει προδώσει ποτέ. «Αν μ’ έχουν προδώσει δεν το ξέρω, δεν το ‘χω πάρει χαμπάρι αν έχει γίνει» πρόσθεσε ωστόσο.

Όσο για το ενδεχόμενο να παρουσιάσει κάποια στιγμή μια τηλεοπτική εκπομπή, ο Αντώνης Ρέμος είπε πως δεν του έχει «περάσει αυτή η τρέλα» και παραμένει κάτι που ο ίδιος επιθυμεί να κάνει, αλλά «έχει περάσει στους παραγωγούς, γιατί δεν υπάρχουν λεφτά», όπως χαρακτηριστιικά ανέφερε.

A documentary will be shown with his live 2007 at London's O2 Arena

Led Zeppelin,  one of the most important rock bands of recent times 50 years, they come as close as possible, with the documentary from the exciting concert they gave 2007 at London's O2 Arena, which will be shown on Friday 16 November on 9 at night, on the screen of the Alexandra Trianti Hall of the Athens Concert Hall.

The event takes place on the occasion of the release of the DVD, Celebration Day, and offers the audience an experience of a historical event, with unique high definition and flawless sound.

The classic rockers also play their legendary songs brilliantly, like 'Stairway to Heaven', "Whole Lotta Love" and "Kashmir" are heard with equal power.

The film has already been shown in Manhattan, in London, in Berlin, Tokyo and is scheduled to be shown in 1.500 large screens in 40 Countries.

Twenty million people tried to get tickets for this landmark concert. Only 18.000 lucky people secured a spot after an international draw and Led Zeppelin said 'yes' to release on DVD by Warner Music as well as CD and Blu-ray, of this last exciting performance of theirs, a gift to their multitude of fans, one of the most important performances in rock history, which takes off every minute.

The three creators of the band, bassist John Paul Jones, guitarist Jimmy Page and singer Robert Plant accompanied by Jason Bonham, son of drummer John Bonham, who passed away suddenly years ago, they fully justify their legend in this concert, a concert-apotheosis, which through the lens and the ten cameras of the director Dick Carathers, brings these unsurpassed musicians within touching distance of viewers and captures every detail of their dynamic genius, of their finesse and creative communication.

The concert was a tribute to Ahmet Ertegan, creator of the record company Atlantic Records, of the company that introduced Led Zeppelin to the world audience from their first steps, at the end of his decade 60. Its recording on DVD has captivated audiences and critics alike, where it has been shown so far: riveting, conveys all the excitement of the live concert, a culmination of the band's seismic career, which gives their fans a sense of their greatness, the privilege of seeing "the Gods in action" up close.

With legendary communication power, genuine and unimaginably talented, led zeppelin have always been four top musicians, who managed to play as a band and stamp the 70s the same way the Beatles stamped the 60s. Complex personalities, with a sense of their time, they created one of the most enduring bodies of compositions and performances in the history of rock music.

The four English musicians appeared in the late 60s, took off in the mid-70s, they wrote some of the most influential songs in rock music, they sold 300 millions of albums, they were recorded in the Guinness Book of Records for the number of their concerts and the number of spectators, they became No1 band in the world and when they disbanded, the 1980, they had conquered the absolute pinnacle and secured the title of the greatest rock band of all time.

Starting with the blues, Led Zeppelin experimented with a wide range of musical genres: British, Celtic and American folk music, early rock n' roll, jazz, country, funk, soul, reggae and their sound stood out for its speed and intensity, the unusual rhythmic patterns, the humor, thoughtfulness, its mysticism and refinement. For many fans and critics, led zeppelin perfected baroque rock music and launched one of the most demanding campaigns in music history traveling through folk tradition, the Delta blues, Bach, Indian and other non-Western music and disregarding tradition.

Multi award winners, the 2003 were honored with a Grammy Award for their entire musical career, the 2006 he was with the Russian conductor Valery Gergiev, the winners of the Polar Music Prize, which was awarded to them by the King of Sweden in Stockholm, in the same year they entered the British Music Hall of Fame and next December they will be honored at the Kennedy Center, in Washington, for their contribution to music.
