"Bel Ami" "Επικίνδυνο πάθος": A different Pattinson
Δύο σχετικά άπειροι σκηνοθέτες, Declan Donnellan και Nick Ormerod, ανέλαβαν την ταινία “Dangerous passion”. Αυτό όμως που ξεχωρίζει είναι ο κόντρα ρόλος που θα παίξει ο ταλαντούχος ηθοποιός, Robert Pattinson. Αν δεν σας λέει κάτι το όνομά του, τότε σίγουρα θα τον θυμηθείτε από τις ταινίες The Twilight κ.ο.κ., όπου υποδυόταν ένα σέξι βαμπίρ.
Ο Pattinson υποδύεται τον George Duroy, έναν νεαρό που ανεβαίνει κοινωνικά στρώματα ουσιαστικά αποπλανώντας κυρίες της υψηλής κοινωνίας. Το έργο είναι βασισμένο στο ομότιτλο βιβλίο του Guy De Maupassant και πρόκειται να βγει στις αίθουσες την Άνοιξη του 2012.
Το καστ συμπληρώνουν οι Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman καιKristin Scott Thomas.

The Circus of Vietnam for young and old
A show for the holidays from a circus with tradition and a special national signature: the New Vietnam Circus invites you on a magical journey to the Far East, at 23 and 25-29 December 2011 on the Central Stage of the House of Letters & Arts.
New Circus from Hanoi offers us a different poetic journey to the distant land of the East. This group of young artists that comes from the circus grounds, of music, of theater and street art will remind us of images and sensations from the everyday life of a peaceful village lost in the rice fields.
With simple means and original scenery made of bamboo, Làng Tôi draws inspiration from the rich Vietnamese tradition but also from the new techniques of circus art, offering young and old alike a unique stage experience that defies the laws of gravity. The audience will not only come into contact with a completely different kind of wandering and circus but will be able to discover the high quality expression of the physical technique of the Eastern theater.
Importantly, Vietnamese artists who lived and worked in France and Germany returned to their artistic roots, enhancing the tradition with new techniques and forms, offering a spectacle that combines masterful acrobatics, martial arts, traditional Vietnamese music, pantomime and dance. For young and old, a sight that we rarely have the opportunity to enjoy in the heart of Athens.

"Amen Amen": A musical performance by Stavros Xarhakos
TheState Theater of Northern GreeceandAcropolis Theatrepresent the production “Amen Amen“, a musical performance based on rebetiko song, directed by himStavros Xarchakos.
The premiere will be given onFriday 30 December 2011in theRoyal TheatreinThessalonica.
The rebetika songs of the vision for a better life, the rebetikas of denying dreams, the rebetikas of the eternal nostalgia of beauty, the rebetikas of the sanctity of desire, the rebetikas of defiance of terror, the rebetika songs of challenging fate and restless struggle with death.
The “aman” that comes out of the soul meets the “Amen” a prayer. In the straight line that unites the Byzantine organ with the rebetiko and with the Little Asian song, love travels, the passion, the lust, the nostalgia, the fate, the death, dreams for a better life, deprivation of liberty and refugee status. This is how Stavros Xarchakos listened to these sounds of the past and staged a musical performance entitled “Amen Amen”. A spectacle-listening with old and new compositions, a folk stage as overwhelming as a liturgy.
Each of the two parts is divided into three sections. There are songs of grace, of Teke and the East.

"Traveling with the Southern Cross" in Megaro
A different kind of Christmas entertainment
An adventurous and charming musical fairy tale, inspired by the "Southern Cross" in the poetry of Nikos Kavadias, milestone project in the career of the composer Thanos Mikroutsikos, will star at the Christmas events of the Athens Concert Hall.
The reason for the musical performance "Traveling with the Southern Cross" which is staged for ten performances from 22 until 30 December (22,23,26,27,28,29 and 30/12 at 8.30 pm and 23,26 and 30/12 at 5 pm), in the Christos Lambrakis room that has been specially designed for the event, by set designer Giorgos Vafias, like a big ship.
It is a different Christmas multi-spectacle with the participation of great singers, musicians, actors and dancers that appeals to the imagination and maturity of children but also to the sensitivity of adults.
"The Cross of the South" in poetry by Nikos Kavadias is a work alive for its creator, Thanos Mikroutsikos, since from the time of the composition of the first songs (1977) until today, it is constantly changing and is the spearhead of his songwriting. The composer's now-legendary songs that brought the "great traveler of poetry" close to the young after urging them to "dance on the shark's fin", to push their limits and conquer the impossible, today they become the trigger for a performance full of music, fairy tales and scenic symbols that aspire to take the younger generation along on a journey into the world of fantasy.
The popular compositions of Thanos Mikroutsikos – with him, of course, also present in the role of performer – they travel together with the texts written by the author Maria Papagianni, inspired by the magical images that emerge from the texts of Kavadias and others, derived from well-known nautical tales, Greek and foreign.
The performance is directed by Thanos Mikroutsikos, while the choreography is by Cecile Mikroutsikou..
Storytellers participate – singers Christos Thibeos, Kostas Thomaidis, Rita Antonopoulou and Anna Linardou.
