Η Imany έρχεται για πρώτη φορά στην Ελλάδα

Έρχεται το Φεβρουάριο στο Gazarte
Νοσταλγική, ρομαντική, ευαίσθητη, αποφασισμένη, μελαγχολική, μαγική… Imany, η όμορφη Γαλλίδα που με ένα τραγούδι μόνο, το «You will never know», έγινε διάσημη μέσα σε μία νύχτα θα βρεθεί στις 11 and 12 Φεβρουαρίου για πρώτη φορά στην Αθήνα, στη σκηνή του Gazarte.
Παιδί μίας 10μελούς οικογένειας, με καταγωγή από τα νησιά Κομόρο της Αφρικής, η Imany μεγάλωσε στα προάστια του Παρισιού. «Να τραγουδάω. Ότι ακριβώς ήθελα περισσότερο από τότε που ήμουν επτά ετών.
Τότε βέβαια πίστευα ότι αυτό είναι κάτι που κάνουν οι άλλοι άνθρωποι και όχι εγώ», εκμυστηρεύτηκε στις πρώτες συνεντεύξεις της η Nadia Mladjao, όπως είναι το πραγματικό της όνομα .
«Όταν ήμουν μικρή, κανείς δεν μου έλεγε ότι η φωνή μου ήταν καλή, έλεγαν μόνο ότι ήταν “δυνατή” κι έτσι δεν πίστεψα ότι το τραγούδι ταίριαζε σε μένα».
Κάθε σκέψη για να προωθήσει τα παιδικά της όνειρα μπήκε στην άκρη όταν ανακάλυψαν τη «Νάντια» στο μετρό στο Παρίσι οπότε ακολούθησαν επτά χρόνια modelling κατά την διάρκεια των οποίων όταν δεν δούλευε, έγραφε τα τραγούδια της. Η Nadia έγινε «Ιmany» (σημαίνει «πίστη» στα σουαχίλι). Μια σωστή επιλογή όπως αποδείχτηκε εκ των υστέρων. «Χωρίς πίστη δεν μπορούμε να καταφέρουμε τίποτα», says.
Έπειτα από τρία χρόνια παραμονής στη Νέα Υόρκη, η Imany αποφάσισε να επιστρέψει στο Παρίσι, having beautiful clothes in her luggage, a portfolio with photos as well as a demo CD with six songs that she herself had edited.
Then, decided to be more actively involved in music and try her hand on stage. Her first appearances in Paris quickly created a loyal core of fans. Reviews made special mention of the melancholy sweetness of her voice, while comparisons with Tracy Chapman and Billie Holiday were not lacking. The name Imany began to be discussed outside of Paris.
He gained fame, he also had ready-made songs, the road now seemed open. Ηχογράφησε άμεσα το πρώτο της άλμπουμ και κατάφερε να ξαφνιάσει την Ευρώπη με την ειλικρίνεια των τραγουδιών της. Soon most noticed her voice despite her beauty. He had won the bet.

"Traveling with the Southern Cross" in Megaro

A different kind of Christmas entertainment
An adventurous and charming musical fairy tale, inspired by the "Southern Cross" in the poetry of Nikos Kavadias, milestone project in the career of the composer Thanos Mikroutsikos, will star at the Christmas events of the Athens Concert Hall.

The reason for the musical performance "Traveling with the Southern Cross" which is staged for ten performances from 22 until 30 December (22,23,26,27,28,29 and 30/12 at 8.30 pm and 23,26 and 30/12 at 5 pm), in the Christos Lambrakis room that has been specially designed for the event, by set designer Giorgos Vafias, like a big ship.

It is a different Christmas multi-spectacle with the participation of great singers, musicians, actors and dancers that appeals to the imagination and maturity of children but also to the sensitivity of adults.

"The Cross of the South" in poetry by Nikos Kavadias is a work alive for its creator, Thanos Mikroutsikos, since from the time of the composition of the first songs (1977) until today, it is constantly changing and is the spearhead of his songwriting. The composer's now-legendary songs that brought the "great traveler of poetry" close to the young after urging them to "dance on the shark's fin", to push their limits and conquer the impossible, today they become the trigger for a performance full of music, fairy tales and scenic symbols that aspire to take the younger generation along on a journey into the world of fantasy.

The popular compositions of Thanos Mikroutsikos – with him, of course, also present in the role of performer – they travel together with the texts written by the author Maria Papagianni, inspired by the magical images that emerge from the texts of Kavadias and others, derived from well-known nautical tales, Greek and foreign.

The performance is directed by Thanos Mikroutsikos, while the choreography is by Cecile Mikroutsikou..

Storytellers participate – singers Christos Thibeos, Kostas Thomaidis, Rita Antonopoulou and Anna Linardou.

THEATER : "Notary"

For a few more shows until the beginning of January
A performance, apology and confession together. A simple act. Erasmia. A woman with passion. In the wrong place and the wrong time. In a provincial town in Greece, Erasmia, a widow trapped in a booth and the morals of small society, leads to absence.
The hair on her cheek indicates her heat, but for the town where he lives, a widow is just a used one. No rights. Antidote to her fantasy, the zucchinis. And the mind... I understand. But the bad is not long in coming.
Temptation arises. And he's short, but with qualifications. And how can Erasmia go against the libido?; Rapist and victim together, desires the forbidden. And when he dares to provoke it, immediate punishment.
Reason is a contract and what is promised must be kept.
The successful show "Notary" by Nikos Vassiliadis with Yro Manet , continues for a few more shows until early January.
At the "Theatre", Hall Iphigenia B, "Hellenic World" Cultural Center, Piraeus 254, Taurus.

Διεθνής βράβευση για κυπριακό ντοκιμαντέρ

Το ντοκιμαντέρ «Οι εγκλωβισμένοι στην Κύπρο» έλαβε το πρώτο βραβείο ως το «Καλύτερο Πολιτικό Ντοκιμαντέρ» για το 2011 από το Διεθνές Φεστιβάλ Κινηματογράφου της Νέας Υόρκης.

Το ντοκιμαντέρ επιμελήθηκε και είναι παραγωγής της Αθηνάς Κρικέλη, η οποία είναι ανταποκρίτρια της ελληνικής υπηρεσίας της «Φωνής της Αμερικής» στη Νέα Υόρκη και διευθύνει την εταιρεία παραγωγής προγραμμάτων «Ελλοπία». Το βραβείο θα παραλάβει σε ειδική τελετή στις Κάννες το 2012.

Το ντοκιμαντέρ «Οι εγκλωβισμένοι στην Κύπρο» διακρίθηκε ανάμεσα σε 30 χιλιάδες συμμετοχές, όπως αναφέρεται σε σχετική ανακοίνωση.

«Η βράβευση αποτελεί δικαίωση για τους εγκλωβισμένους της κατεχόμενης Καρπασίας» δήλωσε η κ. Κρικέλη, επισημαίνοντας ότι «είναι ένα εισιτήριο για να γνωρίσει ο κόσμος την ιστορία αυτών των ανθρώπων, οι οποίοι από το 1974 που πραγματοποιήθηκε η τουρκική εισβολή και κατοχή στο βόρειο τμήμα του νησιού, επέλεξαν να ζήσουν φυλακισμένοι στα δικά τους χώματα, παραμένοντας ελεύθεροι πολιορκημένοι».

Η Παγκόσμια Συντονιστική Επιτροπή Κυπριακού Αγώνα (ΠΣΕΚΑ) συγχαίρει την Αθηνά Κρικέλη για τη «μεγάλη επιτυχία», αναδεικνύοντας και προβάλλοντας μια από τις πιο τραγικές πτυχές του κυπριακού προβλήματος.
