Γωγώ Μαστροκώστα: “Δεν είμαι άνθρωπος που κλαίγομαι”

From: http://www.news.gr/lifestyle/gossip/article/162662/

“Το παιδί μου δεν το έζησα μωρό, με την έννοια πως δεν το ευχαριστήθηκα“

Γωγώ Μαστροκώστα:
Gogo Mastrokosta faced her health adventure with strength.
They are one of those people who don't cry about the obstacles presented to them in life. The only thing that saddens her is that she missed many moments of her daughter's upbringing.
"I'm not a crying person.
No one in my house has seen me cry, neither my husband nor my mother.
I hate people who cry, I can't at all.
The only thing that upsets me, and I realize it now that Victoria is older, it's something I think about when I see mothers with their babies. I missed that part.
Το παιδί μου δεν το έζησα μωρό, με την έννοια πως δεν το ευχαριστήθηκα.
I might have been there, but I wasn't either.
My mind wasn't there, unfortunately", he explained to people.
And keep going:
"I am a person who has always had the right priorities.
I had never lost it, so, really, nothing changed.
The same things that were important in my life before, they are the same now.
I never paid attention to the surface, I've always been interested in substance. when you're in trouble, you might think about this a little more strongly.
But as time goes by and if you are lucky you get completely well, then you return to everyday life.
And I love getting back to everyday life.
I like to deal with stupid things like they are important, because that shows me that I'm fine.
These situations, knowing other cases, I would say that they either bond you even more or push you away.
I don't think this is the real reason some couples drift apart, but such a test is often occasioned.
I think that in a meaningful relationship it will not add anything to you, but it will not take away from you either".

Nana Mouschouri moved in Herodeion

Συγκίνησε η Νάνα Μούσ�ουρη στο Ηρώδειο

International and local media presented the admittedly emotional concert of the great singer

Entering the courtyard of Herodion, you didn't see enough people. I wondered if the Greeks "forgot" the size of Nana Mouschouri and if the concert would be crowded.
But what was happening was that the eagerness of the Greeks to hear this great singer was so, so that - contrary to what we are used to as a people- they had come to the ancient theater much earlier.

The Herodion is suffocatingly full, with brilliant personalities honoring the great performer with their presence. Applause before he appeared, as if they want to welcome her.

And with what appeared in the marble "frame" of Herod, he was applauded for about two minutes by a standing audience. Yes, the Greeks adore Nana Mouschouri who brought Greekness to the ends of the earth.

With modesty, childhood sweet, Moushuri greeted her audience saying “thank you very much, but I don't deserve the applause yet, the night must end first". And with too much sincerity he continued: “Six years ago, in Herodion, i said goodbye. But here I am again".

Flanked by four musicians, and Leno's daughter, which was a revelation, is celebrating her birthday with a tour that started last year called "Happy Birthday Tour" and will continue in the fall in England, Germany, Ireland etc.
He sang Gatso and Hadjidaki, as well as French pieces, reminding us of other times of a smiling and hopeful Greece.

Marble, Cheilakis, Markoulakis meet in Epidaurus

From: http://news.in.gr/culture/article/?aid=1231335259

"Patron" on 18 and 19 July

Marble, Cheilakis, Markoulakis meet in Epidaurus
Athena
Kostas Filippoglou - puts on Sophocles' Philoctetes (409 e.g.), starring Michael Marmarinos, Konstantinos Markoulakis and Emilios Cheilakis.

The show goes on 18 and 19 July at the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus and is a co-production of DIPETHE Patras and the company Aptivities.

Abandoned by his companions in Lemnos, Philoctetes confronts them ten years later, when they treacherously attempt to wrest from him the invincible bow of Hercules in order to conquer Troy.

Sophocles' tragedy is about human suffering and abandonment, the relationship between individual consciousness and politics, personal honor and duty.

"You hardly move the ancient poetic speech", the director emphasized in a recent press conference that he experimented with Dance and "a pause of tragedy".

"The places we've been so far", Michael Marmarinos, who plays the title role, said in turn, "they influence and charge speech, which will also happen in Epidaurus. It is a play that is not performed often.

A work we do not know". And Konstantinos Markoulakis added: "The point is to tell the story".

It should be noted that K. Filippoglou is a director with a strong presence recently on the Athenian stages and an actor previously at the famous Théâtre de Complicité.

The show is presented in Greek, with English subtitles.

Greek sculptor, Praxiteli Tzanoulinou

Creation of a Greek sculptor adorns the park of Mount Royal

From: http://canada.greekreporter.gr/?p=2087

The imposing sculpture of the Greek Praxiteles Janoulinos, which symbolizes them Olympic Games across the globe, now adorns the "Gaia" park of the Town of Mount Royal municipality, area located on the border of the "Greek-occupied" Parc Extension.
The work was created in Greece and represents a sphere, bearing the Olympic circles and laurel branches. It is made of steel, has a diameter 1,4 measures and weighs 320 kilos.
During the unveiling ceremony, at 15 July, the mayor Philippe Roy stated that the project is a donation of the Greek families Paul and Melpas Kamaterou, Nikolaou Tsata, Nikolaos Arkolakis and Tzimis Christopoulos, as a tribute to the city, where the Olympic Flame passed twice.
The mayor emphasized, yet, that the choice of the "Gaia" park was not random. His Greek name, referring to Earth, it fits perfectly with the work of the Greek sculptor, who imprinted the globe with the stripes of peace and the Olympic circles of the reconciliation of peoples.
The consul general of Greece also attended the ceremony Montreal, Thanos Kafopoulos, who said he was proud that a Greek work adorns one of the most beautiful parts of Montreal. The Greek consul also thanked the municipality for welcoming the sculpture, but also the four Greek families, who offered money for its construction.

Festival

The Kalamata model succeeded

The city of Kalamata from afar in "Mesa" by Dimitris Papaioannou, which concluded last year's Festival. The city of Kalamata and modern dance, a cult relationship that celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year, showcasing more than any other year the city itself. Tonight the Kalamata Dance Hall will be packed for the premiere of the 20th Kalamata International Dance Festival (art direction: Vicky Marangopoulou), where the performance of the much loved in Greece Nederlands Dans Theater will be presented. From much earlier on the streets of the city, in the squares, at the port, around the beautiful neoclassical buildings of Kalamata, one of the two workshops of this year's festival entitled "On the road" will have started. A great opening to the city community that follows similar pioneering actions that have been taking place for years abroad. "We are talking about an absolutely young festival", the mayor of Kalamata Panagiotis Nikas tells me from the other end of the phone line, who speaking to "K" about the economic dimension as well as the cultural impact of the Festival in the city of Kalamata pointed out the huge participation of young people not only as spectators but also as volunteers ("an attendance so great that it cannot be satisfied"). A new hotel complex may not have been built to meet the needs of the Festival, Nevertheless, as Panagiotis Nikas pointed out, "every year the transformation of the coastal zone of Kalamata during the days of the Festival is impressive. Athenians, Europeans, artists and spectators of all ages change the rhythms of the city". That's right. Those who have come to Kalamata for the dance festival know this well. Increase in overnight stays in the city's hotels, mainly during the days of the Festival, as well as an increase in transactions in catering and entertainment shops, Panagiotis Nikas points out as "direct benefits to the economic life of the city". Another exciting Kalamata International Dance Festival is ready for action. We look forward to it! DAILY Print Newspaper
