"The road passes through" at the Art Theatre
The Art Theater at 70 years of operation, wanting to honor the memory of Iakovos Campanellis, -author who closely connected his creation with the specific theater- chooses to stage as the opening play of the theater season 2011-2012, the project "The road passes through", directed by Diagoras Chronopoulos.
Written it 1990, is one of the most important and mature works of the great dramatist. Through one, apparently, simple story, Campanellis artfully outlines a conflicting field of principles and values, a battle between a fragile world that leaves and another that comes ruthless, uneducated. In his characters, who are perhaps the most humane and "human" characters of modern Greek drama, they are dominated by the bearer of the old values on the one hand, hooked on the past and clinging to the memories of another era, old bourgeois and on the other hand the layman, self-made New Greek, who, like a true climber, reduces everything- people and memories- in marketable items for exploitation and trivial disposal. The battle between them is inevitable but the "Road" will eventually pass through them, leveling that they themselves struggled to defend.
Contemporary work that portrays in the most theatrical way a world that grew up with the dream of the "rapture" only to end up lost, confused and "frustrated" in streets and squares.
The distribution of the work allows the coexistence of old and new actors of the Art Theater, giving the project a particularly symbolic weight while raising it to the historical Underground, in which Iakovos Kampanellis became a man and flourished, it provides a magical meeting of yesterday and today.
