The city of Kalamata from afar in "Mesa" by Dimitris Papaioannou, which concluded last year's Festival. The city of Kalamata and modern dance, a cult relationship that celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year, showcasing more than any other year the city itself. Tonight the Kalamata Dance Hall will be packed for the premiere of the 20th Kalamata International Dance Festival (art direction: Vicky Marangopoulou), where the performance of the much loved in Greece Nederlands Dans Theater will be presented. From much earlier on the streets of the city, in the squares, at the port, around the beautiful neoclassical buildings of Kalamata, one of the two workshops of this year's festival entitled "On the road" will have started. A great opening to the city community that follows similar pioneering actions that have been taking place for years abroad. "We are talking about an absolutely young festival", the mayor of Kalamata Panagiotis Nikas tells me from the other end of the phone line, who speaking to "K" about the economic dimension as well as the cultural impact of the Festival in the city of Kalamata pointed out the huge participation of young people not only as spectators but also as volunteers ("an attendance so great that it cannot be satisfied"). A new hotel complex may not have been built to meet the needs of the Festival, Nevertheless, as Panagiotis Nikas pointed out, "every year the transformation of the coastal zone of Kalamata during the days of the Festival is impressive. Athenians, Europeans, artists and spectators of all ages change the rhythms of the city". That's right. Those who have come to Kalamata for the dance festival know this well. Increase in overnight stays in the city's hotels, mainly during the days of the Festival, as well as an increase in transactions in catering and entertainment shops, Panagiotis Nikas points out as "direct benefits to the economic life of the city". Another exciting Kalamata International Dance Festival is ready for action. We look forward to it! DAILY Print Newspaper

Sylla Tzoumerka's new film will have its world premiere in the competition section of the 67th Locarno Film Festival “A blast” starring Angeliki Papoulia as a rebellious mother and wife who wants to take her life back into her own hands.
Filmed in Athens, Hamburg and Pieria, the film is a co-production of Greece, Germany and the Netherlands, with the support of the Hellenic and Dutch Film Center. "During the feverish years of the collapse of the Greek economy, the “A blast” talks about what it means to be rejected and to do something about it’ this", comments the director who signs his second feature film after "Country of Origin" which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2010, participated in many festivals and won five awards of the Hellenic Film Academy.
The Beatles… "come alive" in Herodion on 17 July
WITH THE CAMERA AND MANY GUESTS
The timeless songs of the Beatles will "come alive" at Herodio, on Thursday 17 July, with the Camerata - Orchestra of Friends of Music performing their music, under the musical direction of Miltos Logiadis, in the context of the Athens Festival.
The singers Kostas Vasiliagos, Gift of Demosthenes, Vassilis Gisdakis and Steve Kokkas will be "transformed" into the four Beatles, while special guest will be the band Melisses.
The most famous songs of the legendary group will come to life in imaginative symphonic orchestrations by the well-known composer Nikos Platyrrachos, who preserves the unique style and dynamics of the songs, enriching them with the greatness of the symphonic sound.
The Beatles were genius musicians who signed some of the greatest albums of all time and left behind classic songs that still hold their freshness today. Idols of the youth who experimented and evolved at the same time as the currents of their time and revolutionized with just one haircut. The awesome kids from Liverpool stayed together for ten years changing the course of music history forever.

The director Kostas Filippoglou noted that the show is specially adapted for the area of Epidaurus, while he dwelled on his experimentation with dance, who takes a leading role. Michael Marmarinos, who plays the title role, He refused any reduction in today, as “we continue to be inside the myth”, while Konstantinos Markoulakis spoke of a performance that abolishes the academic opposition – research form.

End, for the second time will be at the theater argoliko, at 8-9 August, Angela Brouskou, which directs Bacchae, a “trekking along with Dionysus, which will go to Epidaurus”.
THE LETTER “N” AND ITS Abolition

THE LETTER “N” AND ITS Abolition
By Spyros Markos, director of the 3rd Primary School of Larissa
THE CYPRUS GOES TO EVEREST AND ASK FOR A SANDWICH
WITH TURIN AND DOMATAN AND PEPPERIAN AND CHERMYDIN.
THE GREEK CALLS HIM JOKING:
"YOU, THE CYPRIOTS, WHATEVER TO SAY ALL OF IT “N” ADD TO THE END…
YOU WANT SOMETHING ELSE INSIDE”;
WHEN, SHOCKED BY THE OBSERVATION, THE CYPRUS SAYS HESITATINGLY:
” ALSO PUT A LITTLE ZAMBOO AND BEIKO. ..”
Each letter of the Greek Alphabet emits a sound and an image.
Every word was put by the "Namers", accurately and not randomly
and has a direct relationship of Cause and Causation, between Signifier and Signified.
* The “N” tunes the brain.*
*Relatively recently (1996) in the Medical Journal MEDIZIN-JOURNAL
in Germany, a scientific paper was published, according to which:
"Pronouncing the letter 'N' transports oxygen to the brain
and that the placement of the "N" was no accident
right in the middle of the Alphabet – in the first Greek Alphabet with the 27 letters".
also, at Harvard, by medical investigations it was established.
that the recitation of the Homeric Epics in the original, besides the others,
it's good for the heart, as a breathing exercise.*
And I have the right to ask:
Why we became pursuers of "N";
As a combat instructor and author of the book: DYSLEXIA,
Athena 1994, GREEK LETTERS Publications, 6the Edition,
I am justified in asking, but also to recommend at the end:
The Greek language has now taken a form such that it does not need other extremes.
But I wonder:
Is it a coincidence that we removed the letter "N" at the end of words and our textbooks write "area" (!), instead of area!
In the school aids, however, we read "the area N", i.e. N is preserved there, while the official State in the books (MINISTRY OF, Pedagogical Institute) they have abolished it !!
Why this extreme?;
Why do we officially teach arbitrarily constructed rules in our schools, B.C. yesterday I met the Mayor (the friend, the Council etc.).
The letter N is organic and when we cut it it hurts.
It's like cutting off our little finger…
If anyone objects that this is an insignificant detail, we should tell him that "detail holds the Parthenon"!
But let me remember here the beautiful, ironic text of Od. Elytis:
"FOR AN OPTICS OF SOUND", where it ends,
“No Herod would have dared to order such genocide,
like that of the final -N-, unless his’ the vision of the sound was missing".
The G. Ritsos also wrote:
"And the words veins are. Blood flows inside them".
Unfortunately, Nevertheless, we find out today, that after Ni,
it's the turn of the final Sigma (s).
Some journalists on the channels are already saying:
"the method", the "street", "the complete! accession" (!)…
They thus arbitrarily cultivate a negative language pattern in our youth with the immense power of the media
and the school unable to react, but also society to passively accept this development as almost fatal.
After all this I formulate the following opinion and submit to your Congress my own "Theory" on the matter in question:
The unique musicality of the Greek Language is studied internationally
and its impact on man's spiritual clarity.
*The letter "N" stimulates the brain positively and activates a person to think correctly.*
*The final Sigma calms the man down.
Modern Psychiatry also accepts this.*
The Ancient Greeks knew all this and it is no coincidence
that only we, the Greeks, we say:
"I said goodbye to Ni and Sigma" and
we do not say in other letters (even though we have other letters at the end of the words),
because Ni activates our mind to think correctly and Sigma calms our soul, after we speak in public or in private.
Modern Psycholinguistics accepts that Language and Thought are born simultaneously and evolve in parallel and constitute at all times an inseparable unity.
*Language embodies Thought and Thought is transmuted into Language.*
It is a coin with two sides.
There cannot be one
side, without the other.
There could be no Greek Thought without the Greek Language.
It is a fact that the quality and quantity of "records" in Thought determines the mental level of each people.
Therefore, the mental level also determines the ability to create Culture.
* The Greek Alphabet, in the course of his thousands of years he was originally:
Ideographic, then the Pictorial was coined, then we arrived at Grammographic, then in Spelling (Linear A and B) and finally, the current Photographic system was established, which is unsurpassed and to which the creation of the Greek Language and the Greek Universal Culture is due.*
We have a duty to preserve, as the apple of an eye, the Greek Language and to resist its abuse.
“… it's not an orchestra, it's a revolution …”
“… is not orchestra, it's a revolution …”


Let each of us have some role model to draw courage but also to move forward beneficially and victoriously through the difficult life.
The judges of “THE VOICE”, Despina Vandi, Melina Aslanidou, Antonis Remos and Michalis/Stavento, in collaboration with the Charity Organization "Apostoli" and the ANTENNA Group organize a concert on 3 July at OAKA. The proceeds will be dedicated to the actions of love of the Archdiocese of Athens, to children and families who are tormented by poverty and difficulties.
A big BRAVO to these four kids who showed great morals and love in all the shows of “THE VOICE”, and continue to set an example for all of Greece!! Truth, who is not enslaved by the sensitivity of their soul;;
Their example obliges all of us, wherever we are and with whatever economic power we have, to keep our eyes alert for our fellow human beings who are in difficulty. Today they… who knows. tomorrow we;
I know kind souls who exemplify other than Mrs. Latsis, others from Mrs. Vardinogianni for the charity work they do, and others from others known or unknown. Let each of us have some role model to draw courage but also to move forward beneficially and victoriously through the difficult life. After all, what else will be left for us other than our humanity and love!!
Friendship,
George
