"I have a great idea of ​​myself as an artist"

He is temporarily off TV, something he considers justified. For’ this and he has channeled all his action into the theater. Petros Filippides talks to "Vima" about his career, for the review, he expresses his complaints and objections and declares himself an optimist.

How do you experience all that is happening?;

"It is very difficult. What bothers me is the gloom. Although I am optimistic, as the day goes on, the optimism fades away. But I'm not giving up. It has affected me quite a bit in my daily life as well. There is a serious financial problem. In the theater, for example, this year's success is in percentage 40% down on last year's success".

The public has higher demands;

"I think this is something that will be seen later. At the end we will be able to take stock. During a situation you cannot draw conclusions. But what upsets me is that the first question people ask theaters when they call is how much is the ticket and not what play is being played. But we have also done damage. Out of insecurity, stress and need we have lowered the ticket price. Can't be played with 9 euro and another me 22. The best would be a single ticket.

We must all agree that not everyone will be looking at their hump and rump. That's what we did in Greece all these years and we got here".

"Looking at my lot" doesn't just apply to the ticket though. And you actors avoid collusion.

"No, it's not that simple. An effort is being made. It's not about vanity, it's just not easy. Need can bring us together, something that is good for everyone, but on the other hand it is not easy to envision the same thing in important matters. It's not a matter of name on the sign".

You miss the TV;

"I won't tell you no because it might seem strange. I will tell you yes. Cat’ first television provides money. I didn't do television just for the money or, to be honest, I didn't do it for the money. I was paid well and I think not unfairly or unjustifiably. Not having something this year made me see other things. I love television".

And she loves you as she shows…

"Yes, viewers love me. Because if TV loved me now I would be’ her".

But there is room for everyone;

"No, You are right. And we should be out too, not just others. Since we don't want there to be forty serials then we have to accept that we won't be either. I am neither angry nor upset. I miss the TV, the shoot, the process, showing up. I miss the TV money but my life doesn't end here".

Mr. Filippidis, where you rank yourself in terms of artistic merit and contribution;

"The work I have done so far is quite important. I have a long way to go even important things that have not been done yet. I have a high opinion of myself. The artist must have a high opinion of himself.

Someone has to understand – because I appeal to intelligent people, I don't care about idiots – that the artist must have a great deal of self-confidence along with insecurity, but he must feel that he is the best. Otherwise he cannot be an artist. That doesn't mean he shouldn't try or that he's getting somewhere or that he doesn't have a long way to go. I don't think I've gotten anywhere".

You recognize your weaknesses;

"Yes, every time a show ends I'm not satisfied. I believe that if I did it again, I would do better".

However, you have spoken negatively about the critics.
You were particularly harsh in a recent interview…
“I wasn't hard on the critics, but with a particular critic. This is a friend of mine, whose opinion I value, but I can't handle it and I can't “from behind”. He talked about my summer show without having seen it! Don't tell me there aren't favorites and less favorites or that the reviewer doesn't have personal weaknesses. We have to be honest. Like me, I don't think I've gotten anywhere, critics must also be honest with themselves. Viewers can't be critics either. The opinion of the viewer should be kept to himself. From the moment it is made public, we enter another category, we are dealing with other things. Everyone can't come out and speak their mind without us knowing who they are!»

You are affected;

"No, at all. I know the difference between good and bad criticism. I don't like being told anything but good, flattery bothers me more. I'm glad to hear a negative opinion. But there is a way. I don't like insults and vulgarity".

You feel satisfied;

"I am happy, content. I told you, I am optimistic. Fri.’ that I owe a lot, I go to my rehearsal smiling".

MTX: His Mitsubishi Colt 2005

Given the reliability of the Mitsubishi and the complete character of the Colt, the small Japanese model is one of the best choices on the used market as well.
Engine performance, passenger areas, road behavior, brake efficiency
Engine noise and roughness, little steering blur, small luggage compartment

Motor
The three cylinder 1,1 liter engine performs 75 horses and is quite "alive". Its operation shows good flexibility at low and medium revs but not at high revs. However, it exhibits roughness throughout its rotation range, which is due to the fact that it is a three-cylinder. The box of 5 ratio has a positive latch while its scaling is somewhat far.

Road behavior
On the road, the little Colt clearly shows its urban orientation, with the suspension set up to offer good levels of passenger comfort. On the open road, however, the strong inclinations of the body - especially in the continuous turns- limit its directionality, but it remains extremely safe if the driver does not overdo it. Also in such conditions, the steering system gives the driver an artificial feel, element that affects the desire to move at a fast pace.

Interior - Spaces
Inside, the image is modern and characterized as particularly youthful. The plastics show a good fit, while the build quality in general ranges at good levels for the category. The spaces are sufficient for the transport needs of four passengers without making concessions, while the versatile character is expressed through the possibility of the uneven rear seat being slid along the longitudinal axis as well as the inclination of its backrest being adjusted. At the same time, the luggage compartment of the 220 liters amounts to 315 liters by moving the seat and at 645 liters with its removal.

Resale value
The resale value of the model is at good levels, which is mainly due to the reliability of Mitsubishi.

Value for Money
Colt's price-value ratio is good 1,1 due to the good level of equipment it had 2005 in the basic version.

Purchase price (10/2005): 10.255 euro
Purchase price 2011: 4.800 euro
Sale price 2011: 5.500 euro

From 1962 until today: The first generation of Colt appeared on 1962 and until the sixth generation it was a model of the small and medium class. His seventh generation, to which we refer, it was presented 2004 in Europe and entered the battle of the small category. The 2008 received a facelift and the model continues to be sold.

NTNG : Singles are buried in…Public!

The State Theater of Northern Greece presents the satirical music-theatre performance "The Unmarried Died...in the Public", directed by Hieroklis Michaelidis, in the Society of Macedonian Studies. The premiere of the show will be given on Friday 11 November, at 9.00 p.m.

The Bachelorettes are back – as are the Troika- occupying the Central stage of the Society of Macedonian Studies of KTHBE, with new satirical reserves, mentally cut in color (i.e. sip) and with a performance of radical populism and irrationality adapted to the new, theatrical conditions of the Dania of the South. (Loans with "e" from "loans").

Wiser, so sadder, responding to the call of the motherland, they come once more, with European air and oriental fiscal laziness, to highlight the advantages of the race, with a floating rate of laughter, or sweet melancholy. Although addicted to the sixth dose, they take the methadone of satire and proceed with the intention of becoming a DEKO of the future with a human face, which will put the burden on development.

With vitriolic prose and music-dance numbers they renew last year's memorandum having an outstanding debt to the nation to contrast comedy and smile with the general depression.
