A few words about the show

A great musical theater production, VAT to ATTIC, father of all modern Greek troubadours.
A 20-member troupe of elite actors, singers, musicians and dancers "looking for ATTIC", the style and ethos of an entire era, through memories and senses, texts and songs that sealed our sensibility.

A throwback without a "retro" mood, but with a lot of humor, sarcasm, tenderness and emotion. At the heart of it is a hearty selection of the most beloved songs of Atticus and other leading composers of the time.

The show follows the "life saga" of Cleon Triantaphyllos-Atticus (1885-1944) and his generation. It starts from Alexandria and his Athens 1900, with the walks in Zappeion, the carols and musical evenings at the mansion of the Triantaphyllos family. It takes place in Belle Epoque Paris, with the famous Mistenge pacing at the Follies Bergères and the young Cleon at the Conservatory, musical theaters and cabarets to begin his career as "Attic" – songwriter. We follow him on his adventurous tours around the world, from America to the Russia of the Bolshevik revolution!

To end up in the Athens of the Interwar period, with "variety shows" and the famous "Mantra"! "Mantra" was Attic's temple of art and functioned for a whole decade (1930-1940), combining in a unique way elements from the Parisian boutique, the Athenian inspection, it's boring, the tavern and the music-philology gallery! It was the nursery of many great artists, as well as some of the most important lyricists and entertainers.
