Pemy Zouni at Badminton with tango and zeibekiko

On Saturday, he presents the show "17. 37΄Πειραιάς – The Mouth»

Greece and Argentina meet in a port. On a journey through time. Six faces, each with their own history and memories, with his partings and dreams. Dominant theme, the waiting. Their weapons, the song and the dance. Tango and zeibeki, ball and tzakarera. Carnival and demonstration. Pictures of him 30, of 70 and his 2012. Everything sweetly tangles and unites them.

This is how the theatrical production that culminates the actions of the Tango Acropolis Festival unfolds on Saturday 8 September entitled "17. 37"Piraeus - La Boca" at the Badminton Theatre.

"It is a theatrical performance with a lot of dancing where Greeks and Argentinians participate", says Pemy Zouni who directs and stars in the production. "I would essentially say that it is a meeting of the cultures of two countries that may be far away, but they have, many common elements. The course of Greece and Argentina in the 20th century shows many similarities. Comprehensive regimes, forbidden songs ( zeibekiko and tango), tendency to flee and cities full of immigrants. They are two countries with big hearts and unruly minds..."

The "soul" of the show are the tangeros, the community of Greeks and Argentinians who live in our country and love tango and Argentinian culture. From the end of April, the small group of core performers of the show prepares the play. A woman in a harbor waits for her lover who is a sailor to return. Based on a story of waiting, many different separation stories, of love, of dreams and hope unfold in parallel.

The direction is by Pemis Zounis and the texts are by Stelios Hatziadamidis. Assistant director is Pella Makrodimitri. They are playing: Pemy Zounis, Elena and Luis Mestre, Panis Kalofolias, Dimitris Nikolaidis, Marianna Cutulas. Marios Strofalis participates (accordion), Costas Vlachopoulos (harmonica) and the Quilombo percussion group.

What will the viewer take away from the show?; "A sweetness of things he knows and loves, and from stories he may have recognized. Memories "touch". And seeing the harbor can, for example, may come to your mind "The minor of the dawn" with the voice of Sotiria Bellou..."

There is a case for repeating the performance; "We are in discussions with Buenos Aires", Pemy Zouni answers. "I would also like the show to be staged in Thessaloniki. All possibilities are open…”

“I met dudes, fools and exploiters"

Dimitriou spoke about the men in her life

She talked about the men in her life on Stamatina Tsimtsili's show, Fthistv, Angela Dimitriou.

"In my life I have a cycle. Others were dudes, others were dumb, other operators. I took something from everyone and everyone took something from me. What matters is how they are today and how I am", said the singer.

And he added: "As a woman I have given too much, which I should not have given. I kept nothing to myself. I never loved me. I loved everyone else first, I gave to everyone else and last looked at me. That was my biggest mistake and I must not do it again. At some point, στα 58 my, I have to think about it too. To tell myself “let others give you something too”. I don't want riches either, no names either, as others request. I just want one true love".

As for Steve Kaketsis, he said: "Steve was a special case for me. When I met him he was married, he had a child and his work was such that we were always together. When you're in a relationship and you're in the same job, things are much more difficult. There was certainly jealousy on both his part and mine. There was a huge passion and a very big love. We had, Nevertheless, an ending that shouldn't have been. I got tired of waiting for Steve to finish somewhere, which in itself told me how it would end. I never pushed him to finish it, but as a woman I also wanted to have my own security".

69the Venice Festival: Live or die; Here's the question

Not many years have passed since the death of 17 years in a coma Elwana Englaro had shocked Italian public opinion. In February 2009, Englaro who had been in a coma since the 1992, after a car accident, died while the Italian Senate was debating in an emergency session the passage of Silvio Berlusconi's bill on compulsory feeding of patients in hospitals.

The request by Englaro's parents, who had repeatedly expressed their wish that she not live should she fall into a coma, amounted to euthanasia, which is illegal in Italy. With the support of the Vatican, Berlusconi drafted the law on compulsory feeding.

One of the people who were shocked by the Englaro case was the teenager – then –  daughter of Marco Bellocchio. Talking to her, the Italian director came up with the idea of ​​a film that would raise hot issues and dilemmas such as, in this case, euthanasia. The film called "Unseen Beauty" (Sleeping Beauty) and starring Tony Servillo and Isabelle Hyper, it was screened on Wednesday in competition in Mostra and received warm applause

Having the Elwana Englaro case constantly in the background, Bellocchio sets up short stories of death that take place in Rome. The most interesting of all is that of a senator (Tony Servillo) who is living the exact same drama as his wife who is dying of cancer and is determined to vote against the bill.

"There is no neutrality in Art, but the film is not a manifesto either," said the leftist Marco Bellocchio who had admired the lonely attitude of Englaro's father and was shocked by the way the media handled the event and also by the political dimension the issue had taken. "I want to believe that my film is serious and non-ideological and above all open to different points of view" he added.

Voyeuristic wandering

The sex, drugs and crime, permanent reflections of the "provocative" American director Harmony Korine, student of the equally challenging (but a better director) Larry Clark, dominate his latest creation as well, "Spring breakers" which is shown today Wednesday in a competition in Mostra.

We follow the adventures of four girls in Miami during Spring break, an American custom, according to which, shortly before the end of the academic term, students go on a two-week break.

Relaxation, sure, we mean nothing stands still. The girls go prepared for everything and Korain's lens with a voyeuristic mood captures every graphic detail emphasizing young girls' backsides and breasts. Such rabid cinematography of bare flesh can only be expected from the deeply deprived.

The interest in the film is its cast. Corinne cast actors closely associated with teen movies such as singer Selena Gomez and Ashley Benson as well as James Franco as a Miami criminal rapper who takes the four girls under his wing.
