Σε ένα εντελώς νέο επίπεδο φέρνει την έννοια του «γρήγορου καφέ» Δανός σχεδιαστής ο οποίος σχεδίασε την πρώτη μηχανή εσπρέσο για το αυτοκίνητο.

Η φορητή συσκευή με την ονομασία «Handpresso Auto Mobile», βγήκε στη γαλλική αγορά το περασμένο μήνα στη τιμή των 110 ευρώ και έχει ήδη γίνει τεράστια επιτυχία παγκοσμίως.

Οι χρήστες απλά γεμίζουν το σκεύος με νερό, προσθέτουν την επιθυμητή ποσότητα καφέ και συνδέουν τη συσκευή στον αναπτήρα του αυτοκινήτου. Σε περίπου δύο λεπτά το εσπρέσο είναι έτοιμο.

Αυτό το gadget μπορεί να αποδειχθεί πολύτιμο για εκείνους που πραγματοποιούν συχνά μακρινά ταξίδια, ωστόσο ο κατασκευαστής επισημαίνει πως οποιοσδήποτε χρησιμοποιεί το Handspresso, θα πρέπει πρώτα να ακινητοποιεί το αυτοκίνητο του για προφανείς λόγους ασφαλείας.

The Greek ambassador, expressing the thanks of the Greek side, emphasized that the film presents, through the authentic views of ordinary people, the real Greece, in which the partners should show solidarity and she should change many bad texts, while a possible exit from the Eurozone would be, as noted, destructive, not only for the country but for the whole of Europe.

The duration 50 minute film- documentary, is part of Fabian Eder's general initiative, with the aim of highlighting, with the help of multimedia, of the beauty of the Greek landscape and a current image of Greece, contrary to - as he says himself- “furiously miserable daily reports, which fixate people and generate fear, from whom hatred is very little distant".

The initiative is under the patronage of the famous Austrian artist, author, poet and actor Andre Heller and is supported by leading Austrian personalities from the field of politics and culture, like the former chancellor of Austria and great friend of Greece, Franz Vranitsky, or former vice-chancellor and science minister Erhard Buzek.

During a month, last April, the film's actors, on a sailing trip from Crete to Western Greece, met and recorded, through interviews, the views of dozens of ordinary people, everyday, people, which had a common feature, the young age and the decision not to leave their place, running away from the crisis, but to stay and work for Greece to flourish again.

On this sailing route - a "spring Odyssey, as Fabian Eder calls her- which made stations in Chania, Heraklion, Matala, Agios Nikolaos, Spinalonga, Io, Monemvasia, Tower, Zakynthos, Ithaca, Medium length, the director was accompanied by two distinguished countrymen, cameraman Richie Wagner and photographer Andreas Huddle.

As pointed out by Mr. Ender, at a press conference, which preceded last night's reception at the Greek embassy, he himself focused his attention on the new generation of Greeks, who really want to change Greece, that tell about their lives, their friends, their concerns, their hopes and desires, away from high politics, to their own pulse, on the pulse of the people.

During the trip their records were posted- on a daily basis in three languages ​​German, English and Greek, provoking a series of positions and discussions- on the special blog he had created and which he accepted (and accepts) the previous weeks, tens of thousands of "hits".

Additional, in the framework of the original initiative "Greece blooms", short versions of the film were created- documentary, while they were in the print media, both in Austria and in Greece, but also in other countries, many publications (photojournalism, travel reports, leaflets, articles).

Όταν ο Θεοδωράκης συνάντησε το Νερούδα

Το θρυλικό Canto General ιστορικό σημείο συνάντησης της μεγαλειώδους ποίησης του Νομπελίστα Xιλιανού ποιητή Pablo Neruda με τη μουσική του Έλληνα συνθέτη Miki Theodorakis, παρουσιάζεται στο Ωδείο Ηρώδου του Αττικού, on Tuesday 17 July, at 21:00 at night, in the context of the Athens Festival.

Στο ρωμαϊκό Ωδείο, στη βάση της Ακρόπολης, οι αυθεντικοί ερμηνευτές τουCanto General”, η Μαρία Φαραντούρη και ο Πέτρος Πανδής θα ερμηνεύσουν αποσπάσματα από το ορατόριο.

Μαζί τους η Χορωδία της ΕΡΤ υπό τη διεύθυνση του Δημήτρη Μπουζάνη και η Χορωδία του Δήμου Αθηναίων υπό τον Σταύρο Μπερή.

Τη δεκαπενταμελή ορχήστρα διευθύνει ο αρχιμουσικός Λουκάς Καρυτινός.

Αποσπάσματα του ποιητικού έργου του Νερούδα, σε απόδοση στα ελληνικά της Δανάης Στρατηγοπούλου, διαβάζει ο ηθοποιός Τάσος Νούσιας.

Η παραγωγή φέρει την υπογραφή του Μεγάρου Μουσικής Αθηνών.

Από όλα μου τα έργα, το Canto General είναι μια όαση, ένα λαϊκό έργο που σμίγει δύο πολιτισμούςhe said, including, ο Μίκης Θεοδωράκης κατά τη διάρκεια συνέντευξης Τύπου.

Η συναυλία αυτή αποτελεί ένα ξεχωριστό πολιτικό γεγονός, ειδικά αυτή τη στιγμή που η χώρα μας περνά μια δύσκολη περίοδο, όπου στην πρώτη γραμμή βρίσκονται κυρίως τα οικονομικά και κοινωνικά θέματα.

Έχουν μπει σε δεύτερη μοίρα οι πραγματικές αντιστάσεις του λαού, η τέχνηεκεί που είμαστε πραγματικά πρωτοπόροι και δεν φοβόμαστε κανέναν -, η οποία είναι η πραγματική ασπίδα για τον ελληνικό λαόανέφερε ο Μίκης Θεοδωράκης.

Αυτό αρχίζει να γίνεται κατανοητό από διάφορες ομάδες καλλιτεχνών.


Αρχίζει να ξυπνά μια ιδεολογία.


Τελειώνει η περίοδος της σιγουριάς και της υπνηλίας.


Το χειρότερο που μας συμβαίνει αυτή τη στιγμή είναι η ψυχολογική πίεση.


Δεν αντέχει άλλο ο Έλληνας να αισθάνεται ότι βρίσκεται στη μέση και τον βρίζουν, τον πληγώνουν και τον χτυπούν στο φιλότιμό του.


On the other, η διέξοδος αναζητείται διαρκώς σε νέα οικονομικά μέτρα


Κάποια στιγμή θα περάσει όλη αυτή η κατάσταση και οι μόνοι που θα μείνουν στην μνήμη είναι 2-3 άνθρωποι της τέχνης και της επιστήμηςσυμπλήρωσε ο συνθέτης.


Σχολιάζοντας τις σημερινές κοινωνικοπολιτικές συνθήκες, ο Μίκης Θεοδωράκης ανέφερε ότιη κρίση είναι μια αρρώστια που μεταδίδεται.


Πρέπει να βρεθεί κάποιος να πει ότι δεν θέλουμε να έχουμε σχέση με όλο αυτό το χρηματοπιστωτικό σύστημα.


Που πήγε η εθνική μας περηφάνια;


Αυτή η συναυλία είναι το πρώτο βήμα μιας πραγματικής αντίστασης σε όλο αυτό που μας συμβαίνει”.

The “Canto Generalμελοποιήθηκε από τον Μίκη Θεοδωράκη το 1972 in Paris.

Ο Πάμπλο Νερούδα, Πρέσβης της Χιλής στη Γαλλία για την εποχή εκείνη, ήταν παρών στις πρώτες πρόβες του έργου, που έγιναν σε παρισινό στούντιο.

A year later, the 1973, το έργο προγραμματίστηκε να παρουσιαστεί στη Χιλή σε μια συναυλία αφιερωμένη στον αγώνα του ελληνικού λαού κατά της Δικτατορίας στην Ελλάδα, παρουσία του Σαλβαδόρ Αλιέντε και του Πάμπλο Νερούδα.

Η συναυλία αυτή δεν έγινε ποτέ, το πραξικόπημα του Πινοσέτ αιματοκύλισε τη Χιλή.
