TheAthens Concert Hallintroduces himDionysis Tsakniand the musical performance titled"Self-righteous» which constitutes the composition…
his poemsYannis Scaribas.
The ironic language of Scariba, το κατακερματισμένο ύφος και η πρωτοφανής θεματική του που συνιστούν στοιχεία μιας νεωτερικής ποιητικής ενέπνευσαν τον ανήσυχο δημιουργό που μελοποίησε 12 ποιήματα της συλλογής «Selfish».
These compositions become the subject of a musical-theatrical performance that theDionysis Tsaknispresents in the Palace, with the valuable assistance of the orchestrator and soloist Dimitris Barbagala and his collaborators, as well as the singer Giorgos Merantzas and a group of actor-singers (Apostolis, George and Irini Psychrami, Eleni Karakasi, Eleni Ouzounidou, Konstantina Sarantopoulou). Skaribas himself is embodied by Gerasimos Skiadaresis in texts edited by Giorgos Tsaknis. The ERT Contemporary Music Orchestra is conducted by Andreas Pylarinos. It features a modern band as well as the musicians: Dimitris Barbagalas, guitars and Thomas Konstantinou, Chubs, you suck, rabbit.
The songs "Eavtoulides" are heard in the show, "Crazy", "The Robots", "The Station Master", "The Humpback", "The Ticket", "The Portrait of Elise Maily", “The ship (The Titanic)», "The Snake", «Χορός Συρτός», «Το βαλς χωρίς ντάμα» όπως και το «Ουλαλούμ» (που ο Τσακνής είχε μελοποιήσει νωρίτερα για τις ανάγκες του δίσκου του «Τι γυρεύεις στον ύπνο μου, πατέρα» του 2007).
The composer who entered this process knowing, loving and understanding the work of the poet, αντιλαμβανόμενος παράλληλα τις δυσκολίες μελοποίησης των στίχων του – με τους συχνούς παρατονισμούς, τους νοηματικούς και συντακτικούς διασκελισμούς και την ιδιωματική γλώσσα με μείξη δημοτικής και καθαρεύουσας – stood intently to listen and render the music that hides each individual poem. In these compositions - which will be heard in the first part of the performance, orchestrated by Tsakni's permanent partner, Dimitris Barbagala.– the lively language of Skariba sounds effortlessly without changes or brutal modernizations. While the interesting use of instruments such as the laguto, the jouras and the tsoombus lead to a distinct sound that at some points flirts with tradition in a not-so-obvious way. In the "theatrical" part of the show – befitting the rich man, full of imagination and images because of Scaribas – ο ηθοποιός Γεράσιμος Σκιαδαρέσης αποδίδει με ιδανικό τρόπο τον αυτοσαρκασμό και την ειρωνεία, το χιούμορ αλλά και τη μελαγχολία που χαρακτηρίζουν τους στίχους του ποιητή, while the use of Chorus acts as a counterbalance to the antisocial and introverted skaribi universe. Also worth remembering is, after years, participation of Giorgos Merantzas, with his voice full of tension and emotion adding to the dynamism and excitement.
In the second part of the show, poetry will again have the first floor, with musicalizations of his lyricsTasos Livaditis("I open the door at night"), ofCosta Tripoliti("Wind Clock") and hisManos Eleftheriou("Identity Information") from theDionysis Tsakni. It is performed by a ten-member orchestra made up of classical and artistic Greek music soloists led byDimitris Barbagala.
