-Teacher, please show me how to play
-Child, you already know how.
-But... people don't listen to me.
-You play, sing, dance, perform, think, draw and compose YOUR world. Use the colors you like best, the words you feel make the most sense, and add the notes that resonate in your mind. One day, this world will blossom within you. And you will be able to share it, if that is your desire.
-With everyone?
-Yes, of course!
Those who cannot see will hear ... those who cannot hear* will "read" in images, the story you tell with your still pure heart, that of a little child. Then, you will be mirrored in me and you will know that you are already what you will become.

* During the performance there will be a Greek sign language broadcast, as well as subtitles in Greek and English.

The story behind the fairy tale

The musical and theatrical event, dedicated to the families and the community of Syros, comes from the narration of two children's fairy tales (Authors: Angeliki Varella and Maria Paliura) and parts from the book "Apparitions and Miracles of Angels," Monastery of St. Heraklion, reinterpreted in a modern style and linked to the performance of the song entitled "Angeli" in Italian, "Aggeloi" in Greek, "Let your Angels fall" in English. In a formation of YOUTH and in a formation of ADULTS, where the young artist looks to the adult for inspiration and a model to develop in Art, respecting all the fundamental moral values (faith, sincerity, altruism, peace ... ) and the adult sees in the young, the spontaneity and naturalness that characterizes children.

All this happens under the experienced and wise guidance of the angels (guardians and protectors) who watch over us and our families.

The Angel is presented not as a mere religious expression, but rather in the broader sense of the Guardian of Values and the pure inspiration of the Creative part that pulsates in each of us.
