Theatrical premieres in Athens

From this week, new shows raise their curtain

The premieres are starting to come out, like mushrooms, after the first crumbs…. From this week, the theater returns to its normal rhythms, with the new shows raising their curtain, almost on a daily basis.

The third bell is about to ring immediately in three central theaters:

Giorgos Kimoulis proposes an "Interview": He interprets a discredited, most, a war correspondent who accidentally meets a TV star _played by Dimitra Matsouka. The relationship that develops between them is …conflict. This is the work of Holman and Van Gogh that we met on the big screen first in the Dutch production with the signature of Theo Van Gogh (2003), and then the American one , the 2007 by Steve Buscemi _who co-starred with Sienna Miller.  Kimoulis directs and co-writes the translation and adaptation with Akis Dimos. The scenography is by Yannis Metzikofs. Premiere on Friday 12 October, in the Athens theater, at 21.00. Performances every Thursday and Friday at 21.00, every Saturday at 18.00 and 21.00 and every Wednesday at 19.00.  

On Friday, Grigoris Valtinos also starts at the Ilisia theater (in the photo on the left), with John Presley's play "The Inspector Comes" in his own performance – directing. With him are Odysseas Papaspiliopoulos and Kerasia Samaras, Manos Zaharakos, Kostas Vasardanis, Eftychia Giakoumis and Stavros Nikolaidis.

Third premiere, on Friday, with "Our Big Circus" of Iakovos Campanellis, the show that toured all summer and is now installed at the Acropolis theater, ushering in the new season. Directed by Sotiris Hatzakis and with music by Stavros Xarchakos, the work written in the post-colonial period, carries its pulse to today. They play: George Armenis, Tasos Nousias, Marina Aslanoglou et al.

In the markets of Manos Hadjidaki, musical tribute at the Badminton Theatre

The Badminton Theatre is preparing to host a musical tribute to the songs of the leading Greek composer Manos Hadjidakis on Friday 9 November 2012.

The series of concerts "The Themes of Greek Music and Greek Song", edited by the composer Michalis Koubios, begins with a concert event. Much-loved songs from the colorful planet of Manos Hadjidakis, as they were recorded in the discography as works with the titles "Popular market" and "Roman market", where one of the performers was Ilias Liugos.

My mother, The Cypress tree, There is a dance in Lavrio, It's dawning, (It goes) The train left, A magical city, He came from the north, came south, Paper moon, Love for being a double-edged sword, Wide sea, The mandolin, The sea is deep... Indicative few titles from the program, to be overwhelmed by the charming musical language of the great Greek composer. Yes, Manos Hadjidakis was a charmer. And this charm of his is the quintessence of his music, which disturbs our senses and thinking.

They sing (in alphabetical order): Calliope Vetta, Christos Thebeos, Ilias Liugos, Andrianna Babalis, Orpheus Peridis.

Volvo: Έρχονται S60, S80 και XC90

THE Volvo ξεκίνησε την ανανέωση με το XC60 πριν από μερικά χρόνια και έδειξε ότι βρίσκεται στο σωστό δρόμο. Πλέον με το V40 να ταράζει το γερμανικό κατεστημένο στο άνω άκρο των μικρομεσαίων, έδωσε υποσχέσεις ότι το μέλλον της Σουηδικής Volvo θα είναι ακόμη πιο συναρπαστικό. Δια στόματος του επικεφαλής marketing και πωλήσεων Doug Speck, ανακοινώθηκε ότι οι νέες γενιές S60 και S80 δεν θα είναι απλά facelift με τροποποιημένους προφυλακτήρας και φανάρια, αλλά θα αφορούν ανανεώσεις εκ βάθρων που θα αλλάζουν άρδην την εικόνα των πολυτελών sedan.

Για τα δύο αυτά μοντέλα οι αλλαγές δρομολογούνται για την νέα χρονιά, while the 2014 αναμένεται το ολοκαίνουριο XC90. Θα βασίζεται στη νέα πλατφόρμα τεχνολογίας Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA) και θα κινείται από τη νέα γκάμα κινητήρωνπου θα είναι ελαφρύτερα, 35% πιο αποδοτικά, εγκαταλείποντας τα ενεργοβόρα εξακύλινδρα του παρελθόντος.

Breakfast Mou EXCLUSIVE: Όλα τα νέα από τις οντισιόν!

Χωρίς συμβόλαιο με το Mega παραμένουν ακόμη , σύμφωνα με τις πληροφορίες του Yupiii, οι Γιώργος Λιάγκας και Φαίη Σκορδά, ενώ συνεχίζονται οι οντισιόν για την ανεύρεση συνεργάτη που θα καλύψει το κενό των Τάσου Θεοδώρου και Μαίρης Συνατσάκη στο “Breakfast Mou”.

Οι δύο παρουσιαστές, who managed to give high numbers in the morning entertainment zone of Mega,  they have come to an agreement with the channel but still haven't signed. Πληροφορίες τούς θέλουν δυσαρεστημένους από τις περικοπές που έχουν γίνει για μια ακόμη χρονιά στις οικονομικές τους απολαβές καθώς και στο μπάτζετ της εκπομπής -δυσαρέσκεια που μάλιστα εξέφρασαν κατά την συνάντησή τους με τον Πέτρο Μπούτο που πραγματοποιήθηκε την προηγούμενη εβδομάδα.

In between, tomorrow, Wednesday, θα πραγματοποιηθεί η δεύτερη οντισιόν για την ανεύρεση του νέου συνεργάτη της εκπομπής, και σε αυτήν θα πάρουν μέρος κυρίως μοντέλα, while, σύμφωνα με αποκλειστικές πληροφορίες του Yupiii, από την πρώτη οντισιόν τα στελέχη του Μega αλλά και της εκπομπής δεν έμειναν απολύτως ευχαριστημένα: “Αυτό που από την αρχή επιθυμούσαμε ήταν το άτομο που θα βρεθεί να είναι ένα φρέσκο πρόσωπο που να έχει άνεση, χιούμορ και έξυπνη ατάκα” αναφέρει πηγή από το κανάλι.

Όσον αφορά στην πρώτη ημέρα των οντισιόν και στα άτομα που συμμετείχαν σε αυτή, έχουν ήδη γραφτεί τα ονόματα των Άννα Πρέλεβιτς, Λάουρα Νάργες, Αναστασία Περράκη και Άλκηστη Ανυφαντή, ενώ επίσης πήραν μέρος δύο μοντέλα και μία παρουσιάστρια από το MAD.  Σύμφωνα όμως με το ρεπορτάζ του Yupiii, από οντισιόν πέρασε και η Μελίνα Κόκκορη – η οποία είχε περάσει από οντισιόν και για την εκπομπή της Ελένης Μενεγάκη- αλλά και ο συμπαρουσιαστής του Δημήτρη Ουγγαρέζου στο ραδιόφωνο του MAD.

End, “παίζειέντονα και το όνομα της Φλορίντας Πετρουτσέλι, η οποία όπως είχαμε γράψει αποκλειστικά χθες, συζήτησε με στελέχη του Mega για την παρουσία της στο Πρωινό Mou.
