STAVROS NIARCHOS FOUNDATION CULTURAL CENTER - LIGHTHOUSE

PRESENTATION

The SNFCC readers' theater series, entitled PARABASES/READINGS, is returning to the core of stage reading this year, drawing inspiration from Cavafy's verse, “Voices, loved and idealized.”

Seven theater protagonists, seven “idealized voices,” comprise two-people theater companies (in collaboration with young stage directors, renowned Greek composers and/or on-stage musicians) and attempt live theatrical readings of literary texts (short stories, novels, prose), all of them landmark works of Greek literature. In this way, the series utilizes the dramaturgy of the Readings that were recorded and presented by the SNFCC during 2020-2021, attracting great interest from the public.

The texts selection was compiled in collaboration with poet Nikos A. Panagiotopoulos (December 1945 – July 2023), to whose memory the series is dedicated. 

Sunday, January 28, 17.00 | LIGHTHOUSE

Amalia Moutousi reads the short story “Moonstruck” [Oi Elapfroískiotoi] by Alexandros Papadiamantis 
Directed by Emmanouil Kontos   

“Local [Greek] literature without Papadiamantis is unfathomable.” This phrase sums up the gravitas of this great writer. The work of Alexandros Papadiamantis (1851–1911) marks the meeting point between scholarly tradition, ecclesiastical tradition and the folk tradition of Greece.

Moonstruck (1892) is one of his great masterpieces. A work that, according to Kostis Papagiorgis, “one might say was literally "dug up" from deep down the Skiathian writer's heart by his intellect to be handed over to the future.”

The event will be performed in Greek.
