A certain paradise 2, again at the Michalis Kakogiannis Foundation

Jean Genet's work entitled "Somebody's Paradise 2" returns to the Michalis Kakogiannis Foundation from Wednesday 20 February up to Sunday 3 March 2013.

A tough one, modern work, based on the life and work of Jean Genet.
The play unfolds in the prison where the inmate is incarcerated for the umpteenth time, Gene, trying to finish a book. The heroes spring from his imagination, they take on flesh and blood, they live their own lives on the sidelines, they hate and worship their creator. Reality and the writer's imagination are so intertwined, that you can't tell which is which. Genet's world – more relevant than ever today- it becomes the mirror of our world.

JEAN GENE takes us on a tour of the fringes of human society, to those that hurt us, they scare us, they attract and repel us at the same time, only help in our journey the human values ​​that will emerge, only shelter ourselves, only hope is the understanding that in the end everyone has the paradise they deserve.

There is justice in this world;
There is reward and punishment;
The bad are in prison and the good are vindicated;

February 2012 Anti – Tribute to Saint Valentine
Away from pink balloons, cards with hearts and bouquets the cities continue indifferently on their course. Cities divided in two, cities wild dark and haunted like the lives of their people, who seek and experience the obsessions of love, the contact, the brief flame of human life, and in the hope of happiness they form their own moral codes. Next to the pink happy ones, sweet pictures, they also project wild images in earthy colors, in sepia and black and white that reveal the secrets, the passions,  the pursuits of people in the eternal pursuit of happiness…
In February, in the month that usually celebrates a saint of lovers, the IMC has chosen and presents films about love that are unconventional, separate, away from hagiographies, even if some of them are dominated by angels, in a instead- tribute to Saint Valentine. Because life has many aspects as well as desires.
In addition and… suddenly, music is playing!
Young people, but also already established,  notable musicians and music students occupy the foyer of the Michalis Kakogiannis Foundation and introduce themselves to the public through small concerts with various types of music.
