For the first time on stage a book that moved the world from Europe to the United States, from the Middle East to Latin America, from China to Japan, from India to Iran and Bangladesh, wherever it traveled this novel shocked and was recognized as a masterpiece.
An explosive document that shocks the consciences of men and women around the world with its raw realism.
A woman's voice is heard – a single woman with a child in her womb. This woman has no name, nor does it reveal her social status. Besides, it doesn't make sense. This woman could be any woman. How is she treated by those around her?. From the child's father, her parents, her employer. How can a woman feel when she wants to give birth to a child and no one else wants it. Even the child himself.
If the baby that is still in the womb and understood all that is happening, could speak, what would he say;
He would choose this to be born;
However what remains is not a position, positive or negative towards abortion but a renewed self-awareness, through which the search for the true meaning of life and existence is diffused.
The monologue becomes almost a confession. The child's father, the girlfriend, the doctor, the modern doctor, the work boss and the parents. All witness a symbolic trial in which the sentence is decided, which confirms that the woman is always guilty. Is;

The Hellenic Cultural Foundation is headless

Hour zero for the Hellenic Cultural Foundation after the resignation of its Board of Directors, which was accepted by the Minister of Culture Mr. Pavlos Geroulanos. The crisis in the institution has been simmering for some time, culminating in the announcement of the president of Mr. Giorgos Babiniotis, who had reported to the meeting of the Standing Parliamentary Committee on Educational Affairs on 26 January, that the budget of the EIP is not sufficient for its operation and for this reason, in case it does not increase, the members of D. S. they will resign.
However, the institution's budget for the current year is 1.800.000 euro, as stated in his announcement by the Minister of Culture. "The D. S. of the Hellenic Cultural Foundation, considers that it cannot ensure the operation of the Foundation with a budget 1.800.000 euros for the current year. We can't, therefore, than to accept the resignations of its members", noted in the announcement.
Following this, the operation of the branch of the Hellenic Cultural Foundation in Berlin is probably being extended, which Mr. Babiniotis was about to close, due to excessive operating costs with the prospect of keeping the branches in Alexandria open, Belgrade, Bucharest, Melbourne, Odessa, Sofia, Trieste and Tirana.
To redefine the role of the institution in the promotion of Greek culture, something that has long been necessary, however, the Minister of Culture speaks in his announcement, who should form the new Board of Directors.

"Life is not just a franc"

For Christos Chatzipanagiotis there are more important things

"Victim" of the economic crisis has also fallen the field of acting with the times of fat salaries having passed irrevocably.

Actor Christos Hatzipanagiotis believes that there are more important things in life than money.

"We will all struggle financially. I am of the opinion that life is not just a franc. Balance and happiness lie elsewhere. Love is the only way to save ourselves. We need each other to walk through this life. The many francs make you put all this in the pan. Perhaps the crisis was a good opportunity to see our neighbor with different eyes and to finally walk on the path of God", he told Espresso newspaper.

Η Αθηνά Οικονομάκου ξεσπαθώνει

Η Αθηνά Οικονομάκου μπορεί να έβγαλε τη μαύρη περούκα της Ξένιας φαίνεται όμως ότι ο ρόλος της «κακιάς» θα την καταδιώκει για αρκετά μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα. Η ηθοποιός μίλησε στο «Όλα» για την προσωπική της ζωή και για όλους όσοι τη σχολιάζουν.

«Δεν είναι καθόλου κακό να είναι ερωτευμένος κάποιος, το λέω σε πολύ κόσμο αν είμαι ή όχι, από εκεί και πέρα δεν χρειάζεται να βγω να το ανακοινώσω δημόσια. Από τη στιγμή που δεν πρόκειται για μια σχέση που είναι κοντά στον γάμο, στην επισημοποίηση ή σε ένα παιδί, γιατί να το πω;» αναρωτήθηκε η Αθηνά Οικονομικού η οποία εξομολογήθηκε ότι πολλές φορές έχει εκνευριστεί από δημοσιεύματα που αναφέρονται στην προσωπική της ζωή.
Ενώ δεν έκρυψε πως πολλές φορές μία μερίδα τύπου την έχει εκνευρίσει αρκετά «Ο κάθε δημοσιογράφος, ο κάθε τυχάρπαστος που δεν κάνει σωστά τη δουλειά του, κατά τη γνώμη μου, πέρα από κάποιους που εκτιμώ και που είναι πολύ σοβαροί, βρίσκει την ευκαιρία να πάρει τη δήλωσή μου, να τη διαστρεβλώσει, να συμπληρώσει, να σχολιάζει, να κρίνειΌλο αυτό με ενοχλεί πάρα πολύ. Κάτι που μπορεί να σχολιαστεί από δέκα ανθρώπους που ίσως εγώ δεν εκτιμώ και παρόλα αυτά θα τους ακούσει πολύς κόσμος».
