C. Kafetzopoulos: "We are black everywhere"

The young actor with the "heavy last name" makes his substantial debut in the theater

It is the first time that Giorgos Cafetzopoulos plays in the theater and…. speaks _since his two previous appearances were in Dimitris Papaioannou's shows "Within" and "Nowhere". He plays Jerry in Edward Albee's Zoo Story, or better in "The Zoo Story", as they have retained the original title at the Veton theater 7 where the play is performed. The 27-year-old actor actually makes his official debut this year, both with the first feature film in which he stars _"The Assholes", as well as with the theater, where he plays. Graduated from the drama school of Nellis Karras, who directs the show, the eldest son of Antonis Cafetzopoulos, enters the space, giving the first sign of a path that does not follow the beaten track….

"There is no work and it is not easy to find either", says, explaining his need for theater: "We are forced to do many things, some crap and more, hope, better, so that we can also give our present. But I know how difficult everything is now". Albi's choice of this History has its starting point in his school, since there, together with his friend and classmate Manos Stefanakis had chosen her in their graduation, in the context of modern projects. Then they had chosen to exchange the roles on stage _now they divided them according to their idiosyncrasies.

“I think that in works like this Albee demeans society. Possibly the fringe could even be a great writer, but society did not allow him. I think everyone, potentially, we could do a lot, but society divides us. Cherry and Peter could be friends too….». After all, he himself believes that others label us and put us in roles.

Given the familiarity he developed from a young age with theater and cinema, because of his father, Giorgos Kafetzopoulos turned to technique, with the aim of professional preparation to face the screen and the board. "The most important thing is to learn. I try to be open about it too. To search, to learn, to listen… I will definitely have gotten things from my father, but he never taught me a lesson. Παρατηρώντας τον μάθαινα και μαθαίνω. Κι ίσως αυτή η χαλαρότητα που έχει στην αντιμετώπιση των πραγμάτων να με έχει επηρεάσει κι εμένα…. Πιστεύω σ΄αυτή τη χαλαρή προσέγγιση. Because in Greece things are strange, especially in art. We are black everywhere. We have actresses who could not be seen because they are black… That's why I let things take their course. I'm cool". As for his sonorous last name, he seems to have taken it easy too: "It has to do with others and not with me. Whoever is serious does not deal with these things. But I never thought of changing it…..».

A chance encounter, on a Sunday afternoon in New York's Central Park: Peter is a successful working family man, who we think we all want to be. On the contrary, Jerry, he's the lonely guy who lives on the fringes of society. In an attempt to communicate, Jerry will invade Peter's microcosm and the balance will be shaken. Along with her, the walls that separate their worlds will collapse while the two of them, like animals, they will want to defend their existence to the death. The first work of the American author, although it was written the 1958, looks extremely current. A year later it was performed for the first time at the Schiller Theater Werkstatt in West Berlin. America followed, το1960στο Provincetown Playhouse. "The Zoo Story" is a one-act play that explores loneliness, social exclusion and the human need for communication, σε έναν κόσμο που δίνει προτεραιότητα στην υλική υπόσταση του ανθρώπου. Το χαρακτήρισαν «κωμικό δράμα» με μαύρο χιούμορ και σασπένς: At the same time, it is also a mural of the human soul, in search of happiness and balance….

Panos Mouzourakis : Dyslexia and love for Solomou

To Petro Kostopoulos spoke o Panos Mouzourakis, in "Night» of Friday.

Panos Mouzourakis revealed how he lived the first years of his return from Switzerland, where he was born, in Greece: "When I came with my family from Switzerland, because everyone was listening “Switzerland” and they kind of looked, I thought I was rich. Sure, then I saw that we had left with the same breeches and had returned with the same ones, but we also had the stamp of Switzerland on it, which gave a prestige. Of course, this also made communication with the other children more difficult!». Still, Panos Mouzourakis admitted that he was not a good student at all, adding that he recently discovered he has a form of dyslexia.

How is he dealing with the financial crisis himself?; "I don't know... The truth is that I have no idea! Not like I don't care, I'm just rather confused about this whole situation, because repeated changes are made. It is a time when religion is judged, the society, the policy, if it's our fault, if everything we believed for so long and so on and so on are to blame. I'm in this general mess too. I believe that many beautiful things will come out but certainly not through a political system. It is an internal change that will occur, perhaps from the crisis we are currently going through, which can be very creative after all. In such difficult times, the beautiful plays were written, the musical, the beautiful paintings. Movements are being created and we are moving forward," said Panos Mouzourakis.

End, about what made him fall in love with Maria Solomou he stated: "It is there is the inexplicable… It's something you can't translate. It is something that moves, the energy it leaves in space", while concerning that which of “it breaks” he said to his partner: "The insecurities that make me constantly feel the need to prove that I'm not a little".

It is important that there is work in all this wild situation that prevails", while for his financial rewards, in the midst of an economic crisis, he admitted that he "put water in his wine".. "The situation has become nightmarish and frustrating! […] I'll be honest with you! Based on my last job, have “fall” 65%. And I'm not exaggerating. But I preferred it to being off TV," he added.

While he categorically denied the rumors that the new TV series he signs on behalf of ANT1 "The Sin of My Mother" was initially proposed to Mega, which rejected her, Alexandros Rigas admitted that there were some financial problems in the production of the series: "Yes. Indeed, there was initially a problem with payments, while we were assured that everything would go smoothly. They stopped filming for a week, but then what needed to be done was done and we are moving forward!he stated.

End, for those who mentioned that the fact that he does not collaborate in this series with his writing other half, Dimitris Apostolou, means that the two of them got “divorce” professionally, stressed: "This is one more “radio arbula”! Dimitris and I always do theater together, this time we have uploaded our projects “Girls in black” and “Long live Greek children”, but we also created television separately. We didn't get a divorce!».

Alonso conquers the rain

Another episodic grand prix was held at her track Malaysia with the rain playing its own games. His first victory this season was celebrated by Fernando Alonso, taking advantage of McLaren's misfortune. The impressive Sergio Peres climbed to the second step of the podium, while the top three was completed by Lewis Hamilton.

Drivers managed just nine laps at Sepang in heavy rain, which forced the referees to stop the match, for about an hour, until its intensity decreases and track conditions improve.

However, the stoppage combined with the safety car really shuffled the deck and… ruined McLaren's race.

Hamilton's first pit stop stuck wheel and Button's contact with Karthikeyan, gave first place to Alonso, which he maintained until the checkered flag.

McLaren's misfortune, good luck to alonso!

Just nine rounds lasted the fairy tale for the British team. Hamilton started very well and maintained his lead. However, the entry of the safety car and the stoppage of the race, they put... an early end to McLaren's race. The winner of the first grand prix, Jenson Button, finished in 14th place, since after his contact with Karthikeyan he failed to make the top ten.

Alonso, who got off to a good start was in the right place at the right time, resulting in him being in first place and taking the win, after the British Grand Prix. However, Sergio Peres also took advantage of the right timing, who in Malaysia impressed, seeing the checkered flag second.


This Mexican is crazy!

The performance of Sergio Peres was excellent, who in Malaysia, not only did he manage to maintain second place, but he had the guts to claim victory as well, filling Fernando Alonso's mirrors.

However, three laps before the checkered flag the team informed Peres that they wanted the second place points, advising him to slow down. At the Malaysian circuit, the Sauber driver was placed in the best position, that has ever been marketed.

In fact, he is the first Mexican to take the podium since 41 years and Pedro Rodríguez, who had finished second the 1971 at the Dutch Grand Prix.

Mark Webber saw the checkered flag from fourth place, with his stablemate, Sebastian Vettel to finish 11th. The World Champion had contact with Karthikeyan's HRT with seven laps to go, resulting in his rear tire being damaged and him visiting the pits.
