"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.

The Bentley Continental with a new V8 turbo engine

A new 4-litre V8 engine joins the Bentley Continental line-up, delivering the much-needed hot performance combined with significant environmental achievements.
At the Detroit Fair, British Bentley is expected to officially present a new one, V8 twinturbo engine, which completes the range of available Continental GT Coupe and GTC variants. It is worth clarifying that this 4-liter engine is placed one step lower than the 6,0 W12 of the brand, which will continue to be available at the top of the Continental GT and GTC model pyramid.
According to company executives, this engine delivers 507 horses at 6.000 rpm. and torque 660 Nm, which are available consistently from 1.750 up to 5.000 rpm. ensuring acceleration from stop to first 100 km/h in a time less than 5 δλ. and top speed of the order of 290 km / h. Benchmark this supercharged diamond, beyond their automatic transmission 8 relations with which he will cooperate, αποτελεί το σύστημα που θα σταματά για λόγους οικονομίας καυσίμου την παροχή καυσίμου στους 4 from the 8 cylinders, όταν ο οδηγός δεν εξαντλεί τη διαδρομή του δεξιού πεντάλ. However, for now, η Bentley δεν δίνει στη δημοσιότητα τις ακριβείς μετρήσεις μέσης κατανάλωσης του εν λόγω κινητήρα, και κατ’ επέκταση, τις εκπομπές διοξειδίου του άνθρακα για κάθε χιλιόμετρο κίνησης του οχήματος.
 Όπως, Nevertheless, η ίδια διαβεβαιώνει στο επίσημο δελτίο τύπου των νέων Continental GT Coupe/GTC, ο νέος αυτός κινητήρας εντάσσεται στο σχέδιο δράσης της ιδίας, ο οποίος αφορά στη δέσμευση της Bentley για περιορισμό της κατανάλωσης, αλλά και των εκπομπών ρύπων των μοντέλων της σε ποσοστό που θα αγγίζει το 40%. Indicatively, όπως με έμφαση σημειώνεται από τους ιθύνοντες της μάρκας, ο κινητήρας αυτός θα είναι σε θέση να εξασφαλίσει στα βρετανικά μοντέλα μια αυτονομία κίνησης που θα ανέρχεται στα 800 km. Ένα ακόμη στοιχείο που οι επίσημες ανακοινώσεις των Βρετανών δεν ξεκαθαρίζουν είναι αν ο εν λόγω κινητήρας, who, παρά τις όποιες επεμβάσεις στη χαρτογράφηση του είναι ο ίδιος με εκείνον που κινεί τα Audi S6, S7 και S8, είναι σε θέση να καταναλώνει βιο-αιθανόλη ως εναλλακτικό καύσιμο, όπως συμβαίνει στην περίπτωση του 6λιτρου W12 των 640 horses.
By design, οι Continental GT και GTC που θα φιλοξενούν τον εν λόγω κινητήρα θα διαθέτουν τις εξής σχεδιαστικές διαφορές: νέα γρίλια σε μαύρο χρώμα και αλουμινένιο περίγραμμα, κόκκινο λογότυπο «B», ελαφρώς ανασχεδιασμένο εμπρός προφυλακτήρα, wheels 20 inches (optionally 21 inches), πίσω εξατμίσεις σε σχήμα… ξαπλωμένου «8». Περισσότερες πληροφορίες αναμένονται να ανακοινωθούν στις αρχές του επόμενου μήνα, οπότε οι νέες 8κύλινδρες Continental GT/GTC θα φιγουράρουν και επίσημα στο περίπτερο της Bentley στην Διεθνή Έκθεση του Ντιτρόιτ.

Notary

THEATER : "Notary"

For a few more shows until the beginning of January
A performance, apology and confession together. A simple act. Erasmia. A woman with passion. In the wrong place and the wrong time. In a provincial town in Greece, Erasmia, a widow trapped in a booth and the morals of small society, leads to absence.
The hair on her cheek indicates her heat, but for the town where he lives, a widow is just a used one. No rights. Antidote to her fantasy, the zucchinis. And the mind... I understand. But the bad is not long in coming.
Temptation arises. And he's short, but with qualifications. And how can Erasmia go against the libido?; Rapist and victim together, desires the forbidden. And when he dares to provoke it, immediate punishment.
Reason is a contract and what is promised must be kept.
The successful show "Notary" by Nikos Vassiliadis with Yro Manet , continues for a few more shows until early January.
At the "Theatre", Hall Iphigenia B, "Hellenic World" Cultural Center, Piraeus 254, Taurus.
