I've become corroded in the south wind of humankind Mother far away, my Everlasting Rose. On the open sea they lay in wait for me, With triple-masted men-of-war they bombarded me, My sin that I too had a love of my own Mother far away, my Everlasting Rose. ……… Once again I took the shape of my native country, I grew and flowered among the stones. And the blood of killers I redeem with light Mother far away, my Everlasting Rose. From THE AXION ESTI, by Odysseus Elytis (1911-1996) Translated by Edmund Keeley and George Savidis ___________________________ Direction-Script Vouvoula Skoura Photography Giannis Sarygiannis Editing Yannis Daridis Music Nikos Papadogoulas Costumes Erofili Politopoulou In the role of the Mediterranean women Konstantina Takalou Narrator Micheal Eleftheriou Water on the Table is a production of the Region of Northern Aegean in collaboration with the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Tourism, for the Journey of Arts – Cultural Routes in the Aegean 2010.

GREECE Sons and Daughters 22 February 2014, SARTR Theatre Five young performers travelled all around Greece from Athens to Thessaloniki, from Crete to Mykonos, Halkidiki, Corfu and Amorgos, for 13 months, interviewing senior citizens, asking them to remember the single, significant story that changed their life. Out of 85 different stories, they picked those that were more attached to historical events and present on stage true episodes that took place during Second World War, -as the declaration of War by the Italian State and the invasion of Greece by the German Army- the Greek Civil War, the building of the Berlin Wall, the immigration of Greek workers to Germany, Australia and Canada, the Coup d’ Etat of the Generals in 1967, the elections of 1981 and the rise of the Social-Democratic party of Andreas Papandreou, the Athens Olympic Games in 2004. A documentary show based on unwritten short stories of everyday life, which reveal the human struggle for happiness even when the official History records tragic events.

GREECE Mothers 23 February 2014, SARTR Theatre Two female performers on a wooden brick platform leaving no visible signs of what could become a defined point in space, they develop a high precision circular movement sequence that runs through the whole piece. Mothers relate stories of construction: Two women built cities-worlds with small wooden bricks. Watch their constructions, wander around them, demolish them, retire and return to start from the beginning. They play an eternal game with memory, material, space. Mothers are playing with the limits of their own designs.
