Aristophanes' chickens from DIPETHE of Crete, in the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus

The Athens and Epidaurus Festival 2012 hosts one of Aristophanes' finest comedies. The Chickens produced by DIPETHE of Crete  are coming to the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus for two performances, on Friday 10 and on Saturday 11 August, at 21:00.

In times of severe crisis, the search for utopia returns more fiercely. The director Yiannis Kakleas with a staff of notable actors and the legendary music of Hadjidakis as an ally, looking for today's Nephelococcygia.

Extremely topical comedy, the Hens were written the 414 e.g., time when the war, the hunger, debts and decline plagued Athens. Desperation drives two elderly Athenians to flee and create the ideal city in alliance with birds.

DIRECTOR'S NOTE

A journey into the desire for a free world, a fair world, asking for Happiness are the "Chickens" of Aristophanes.
This great satirical poet tells us a story of overthrowing a corrupt society, decadent, of a society that degrades the desire for Life, in a desperate effort to survive.
"Chickens" is a political text and at the same time a poetic parable that scorns an inhumane world and dreams of "a society of birds", that is, a society with imagination, which adopts the Archetypal values ​​of Law, of Merit and Perpetual Motion. A society that may seem unrealized but that if Man stops desiring it is in danger of annihilation.
"Chickens" is a work as modern as man's need to fly above his individual and social commitments and create an "other" society, without hypocrisy, fear, destructive rage and social injustice.
Utopian; It depends on us!

Yannis Kakleas
Director

Greek documentary

Encardia are stealing hearts in Lower Italy

The awards for the Greek documentary continue

Another honorable distinction for the Greek documentary "Encardia, the dancing stone" by Aggelos Kovotsos – this time from Italy: the film that has been shot in areas of Greece but mainly in the Greek-speaking villages of Lower Italy with the protagonists being the Greek music group Encardia as well as musicians, famous poets and anonymous artists of the Salento region, he received an honorable mention for his direction at the cinema del reale documentary festival that takes place every year in Spezia, Lower Italy.

Spekia is located in the heart of Salento, which is the center of the nine Greek-speaking villages of Italy. The warm welcome, the warm applause of the audience as well as the distinction to the film and its director reflect the response the film had in the region where the Grico language is still alive through music, the Greek poems and songs.

The Greek delegation that accompanied the film with actors, friends, partners and of course the Encardia complex, at the end of the screening he set up a wild party outside the screening area and roused his Italian friends with dances and songs.

The Encardia complex (Kostas Constantatos – crust, mandolin, violin, song, Vangelis Papageorgiou – accordion, harmonica, song, Michalis Kontaxakis – guitar, song, Anastasia Dolfi – song, castanets, Dimitris Tsekouras – contrabass, song and Konstantina Kalkanis, Gianna Hamaleli – dance) is inspired, creates and presents music and songs through the rich musical tradition of Lower Italy. It was established 2004 and so far has performed more than three hundred live performances throughout Greece, Italy, South of France, Germany, Cyprus, Algeria etc. He has released three records and has collaborated on record and in live performances with the most important representatives of Low Italian music.

On the occasion of her participation in the cinema del reale festival, the film was then screened in Kalimera villages, Corigliano D’ Otranto and Sternatia. After the projection in the square of the villages, there was dancing and singing by Encardia as well as big names of the music scene of the region: Roberto and Francesca Licci, Franco Corleano, Enza Parliara et al.
The distinction of "Encardia" in Lower Italy comes after the audience award it received at this year's Thessaloniki documentary festival Images of the 21st Century. The film is already scheduled to be shown at several foreign festivals and to be released in Athenian cinemas in October.

At… hammer rare Aston Martin DB3S

Σε μία δημοπρασία για… σοβαρούς συλλέκτες, θα διατεθεί ένα από τα ομορφότερα μοντέλα της βρετανικής αυτοκινητοβιομηχανίας, μία Aston Martin DB3S of 1955.

When the 1952 η Aston Martin παρουσίαζε την DB3, το μόνο πράγμα που είχε στο μυαλό της ήταν η νίκη στο Le Mans. Nevertheless, το αυτοκίνητο ήταν αρκετά βαρύ και όχι τόσο ανθεκτικό για μία τέτοια δοκιμασία, οπότε η κατασκευάστρια επανήλθε ένα χρόνο αργότερα με τη βελτιωμένη DB3S. Μέσα στα επόμενα χρόνια, η συγκεκριμένη έκδοση κατάφερε να κερδίσει σε αρκετούς αγώνες, όπως στο Goodwood και στο Silverstone και να πετύχει 2 δεύτερες θέσεις στο Le Mans. Από τις επιτυχίες αυτές, αρκετοί επιφανείς πελάτες της φίρμας ζήτησαν να αποκτήσουν μία DB3S και έτσι, η εταιρία παρήγαγε 20 μοντέλα «δρόμου», ένα εκ των οποίων διατίθεται σήμερα προς πώληση.

Αυτό φέρει το σασί 118 και θεωρείται ένα από τα καλύτερα διατηρημένα που σώζονται σήμερα. Αρχικά αγοράστηκε από τον Ολλανδό οδηγό αγώνων Hans Davids, ενώ μερικά χρόνια αργότερα πέρασε στα χέρια ενός Αμερικάνου, για να καταλήξει το 1992 στο σημερινό του ιδιοκτήτη, που και αυτός με τη σειρά του το πουλάει. Η δημοπρασία του αυτοκινήτου θα γίνει από την RM Auctions, at 18 August, οπότε όσοι πιστοί… προσέλθετε. Για τους υπόλοιπους, fortunately, τα όνειρα δεν κοστίζουν…

VW acquired Porsche

Μετά από μία μακρόχρονη και ιδιαίτερη σχέση μεταξύ των δύο εταιριών, το τοπίο πλέον ξεκαθαρίζει, ανοίγοντας ένα νέο κεφάλαιο στη συνεργασία τους.

Έπεσαν και επίσημα οι τίτλοι τέλους μίας από τις μεγαλύτερες «μάχες» εταιριών των τελευταίων ετών. The 100% των μετοχών της Porsche ανήκει πλέον στον όμιλο VW, σε μία εξέλιξη που λίγα χρόνια πριν οδηγούσε προς το αντίθετο αποτέλεσμα, την εξαγορά της VW από την Porsche. Όπως και να έχει πάντως, οι δύο εταιρίες έχουν αρκετές κοινές ρίζες, με συνεργασίες δεκαετιών. Most, με την ολοκλήρωση της εξαγοράς θα μπορούνε, πέραν του οικονομικού ελέγχου, να μοιράζονται πλατφόρμες, μηχανικά μέρη και τεχνολογίες.

Σύμφωνα με το Διευθύνοντα Σύμβουλο της VW Martin Winterkorn, «το μονοπάτι πλέον έχει καθαρίσει, οδηγώντας σε ένα λαμπρό, κοινό μέλλον. Η ακόμα στενότερη συνεργασία θα μας επιτρέψει να ισχυροποιήσουμε τις δύο μάρκες και να εμπλουτίσουμε τις γκάμες μας με εντυπωσιακά, νέα μοντέλα». Κατόπιν συμπλήρωσε «Η μοναδική μπράντα της Porsche θα συνεχίσει να αναπτύσσεται με επιτυχία κάτω από την πολυεταιρική στρατηγική της VW. Θα διατηρήσει βεβαίως τη δική της ταυτότητα και επιχειρησιακή ανεξαρτησία, όπως όλες οι εταιρίες του ομίλου».

LAKIS GAVALAS: Birthday in Korydallos prison

This year's birthday of the famous designer and businessman is not reminiscent of the old days with the frantic parties in Mykonos.

Lakis Gavalas who has his birthday today, will spend them in Korydallos prison where he is being held.

According to an article in the Espresso newspaper, Lakis Gavalas is closed to himself and receives few visits from his very close friends who have nothing to do with the show biz space.

Until last year, the designer spent his birthday at his villa in Ftelia, Mykonos, where all the people of show biz passed by and they partyed until the next morning.

NASA

The exploration of Mars from the Curiosity vehicle began

It successfully landed today on 8.32 (Greece time) on the planet Mars the robotic vehicle Curiosity, NASA announced. The seven-minute process was the hardest landing of an unmanned spacecraft ever on the Red Planet. The vehicle immediately began sending pictures back to earth and searching for extraterrestrial life forms.

The Curiosity rover sent its first signal when it entered the Martian atmosphere. "We received signals, things look good" said a member of the mission. NASA's space shuttle launched from Cape Canaveral on 26 November 2011.

Its mission is to explore Mars in order to determine whether the Red Planet ever had the conditions to support any life.

Immediately after the successful landing the mission members erupted in cheers and one of the officials handed out Mars chocolates…

The same atmosphere of joy prevailed when the robot sent the first photo, of exceptional purity, of his shadow on the ground of Mars, immediately after his landing.

US President Barack Obama in his announcement speaks of an unprecedented technological achievement.

The program cost money 2,5 di. dollars.

The craft entered the Martian atmosphere at a speed of approx 20 thousands of km/h. A combination of systems (parachutes, specially designed thrusters etc.) built into the craft helped Curiosity to land as "softly" as possible so as not to damage any of its advanced and ultra-sensitive instruments.

New ambitious exploration phase

A new ambitious phase of exploration of the neighboring "red planet" is thus inaugurated, with the main stake being finding traces of microbial life, either in the distant past, or more recently, either- as the most visionary hope- even in the present.

In essence, the new mission is expected to lay a firmer foundation for a future human-first mission to the planet, something that is not expected to happen at least two decades ago.

The weight 900 kg nuclear powered (with plutonium fuel) six-wheeled robotic rover, with the official name "Mars Science Laboratory" (Mars Scientific Laboratory"), it's the size of a car, it is more than twice as long and five times heavier than the twin rovers “Spirit” and “Opportunity” who reached Mars the 2004.

"Curiosity" was launched on 26 November 2011 and traveled approx 248 million. kilometers to reach Mars, being the
largest and most expensive vehicle ever sent to another planet.

The entire shipment cost approx 2,5 billion dollars and it is hoped that the vehicle will last many more years than the two years NASA originally planned.

It is the most complete and technologically advanced space mobile scientific laboratory, as it has a range of cameras and scientific instruments, as well as a robotic sample collection arm, which will allow him to carry out, in the coming years, a wide range of on-site scientific analyses. Every day, the results of his surveys of the Martian soil will be sent electronically to Earth for further analysis by
the scientists.

The autonomous rover, which will remain stationary in its place for several days, until it is ensured that all is well with its electronic systems, will focus his investigations on its alluvial rocks, height approx 5 km, Mount Sharp (or, as is its official name, Aeolis mountains), which is located inside the ancient and huge Gale Crater, latitudinal 154 km. and aged over 3,5 di. years.

The rocks in question are considered a kind of "time capsule" for the successive geological stages of the planet from the wettest
and his warm past to his arid and cold present.

The vehicle- laboratory, which will move slowly with a speed of just 30 meters per hour (going through the lot 200 meters per day), will continue to analyze Martian rocks looking for complex organic molecules, which will probably constitute the
chemical "signature" of some past or present microorganisms.

But the difficulty for scientists will be to make sure that such carbon-based molecules are indeed of biological origin (the metabolism of microbes), since they could also have been produced through abiotic geochem
procedures.

Research so far has shown that once upon a time, billions of years ago, Mars had an atmosphere and liquid water, therefore a basic condition for the emergence of some form of life was met.

Now, it is hoped that the “Curiosity” will take another step, also finding evolved organic molecules that could be remnants or byproducts of such microorganisms.
