Peggy Zina : The last meeting with Dimitris Mitropanos

He spoke about the unexpected loss of Dimitris Mitropanos, including, in an interview with "Down Town" of Cyprus and the journalist Giannis Hatzigeorgiou Peggy Zina.

"It simply came to our notice then. And I'm sure I will never get over it. Never! Simply, "I will get used to living with it," said the 37-year-old singer, while he continued emphasizing that "Dimitris was first of all my top collaboration- I can not think of anything higher, as things stand at the moment, who generously gave me as much as anyone else these 16 years I sing- but mostly a man who stigmatized my life on a human level. Dimitris, I can say, that he was even higher than people in my family- in the narrow sense of the word. And you do not ask these things, so it happened and our families bonded a lot. They became like one. As a result, even the time we did not work together, to be too close. And we will continue to be very close to his family. Suffice it to say that everything,what has happened to me so far- from the death of my dad, up to other losses of important relatives of mine, as well as some illness of my husband during the time I was pregnant- because I happened not to sing at the time, I treated them relatively well. This, Nevertheless, that I experienced when Dimitris left for his last trip, I can say it was their worst night 16 years of singing ".

He even described their last meeting: "We celebrated Easter together. We were together Sunday, on Monday I traveled to Cyprus and on Tuesday morning I was notified of the incident. In this last meeting we remember that we were too many people gathered, in his very welcoming and open house, at a huge table with lots of food, in which we laughed and he made jokes with my daughter. And as soon as she moaned a little, he told her “What do you want, my lady; You want something, my lady;” (is excited). We hugged and returned home, to wake up early the next day and travel to Cyprus ".

Athens Festival 2012: Ali and Hedi Thabet – Rayahzone in Piraeus 260

Brothers Ali and Hedi Thabet invite us on a political journey into the world of desires and the Holy, with the show "Rayahzone”,which will be presented in Piraeus 260 (THE), at 14, 15 and 16 June, in the context of the Athens Festival.

Ali and Hedi Thabet were born in Belgium, from a Tunisian father and a Belgian mother. From a young age they were involved in the circus and soon dance was added to their interests, the theater, writing and photography. Even when Hedy Tabet was hit with age 18 years of bone cancer and two years later he lost his leg, his love for the stage remained years later, created together with his brother the show we will enjoy.

“Rayahzone” is a journey (Rayah in Arabic), where we are invited to participate in order to disturb our arcane and tormenting inner anxieties in order to seek balance. On this trip, the bodies, the voice and percussion are the protagonists.

For the performance, the two brothers collaborated with the dancer Nicolas Vladyslav and the musicologist Sofyann Ben Youssef who, with five Sufi musicians, gave the music a leading role, thus making an indirect political statement, as Sufi music in Tunisia was banned at various times in history. In the show, the music does not complement the steps and movements of the dancers, but it is done – with her breath and voice as tools – vehicle that leads viewers to the Divine. As God created man by breathing into him his Spirit, man breathes out the voice of God and touches the Divine, through the song.

Finally the "Rayahzone", that we will watch at this year's Athens Festival is not just an absolutely perfect artistic performance but a journey of self-awareness. And the purpose of the Thabet brothers is to bring into confrontation and to transcend in space and time the three different dimensions of existence: the death, reason and madness, which are personified on stage by the three dancers and to connect their viewers with the little god that we all hide inside.
