SUMMARY:Lambros FlashArt@Rialto
DESCRIPTION:13/2 Lambros FlashArt@Rialto Sat 19:00 (90’) \nA play addressing a multitude of issues such as human ignorance\, isolation\, the fragility of\nthe human existence\, the absence of free choices in a world where restrictions prevail\, the\nbeasts and the beauties (truth and lies) created by the human being in an attempt to find\nout what cannot be found out\, the abuse and violence caused when power is misused.\nLambros is a young man employed as false witness in a trial-fixing ring. Everything works\njust fine\, until things stop working just fine. Lambros is trapped. What has occurred? What\nis true and what is false? What is freedom\, and what does its absence signify? Which\nthings belong to us? Which of our choices are really our own? Lambros’ ignorance of the\nkey points in his case represents our very own ignorance. The journey of his life from\ndarkness to light is the journey of our own life. \nPlay | Visual idea | Director: Myrto Papachristoforou\nArtistic direction: Katerina Attalidou\nStage set: Katerina Attalidou\, Stefanos Karababas\, Stylianos Pelekanos & Omass Architects\,\nPavlides Carpenters Ltd\, Waternet Ltd\, Myrto Papachristoforou\nActing: Irena Christodoulou\, Christo Avraam\, Myrto Papachristoforou \nThe poster has been created by the visual artist Katerina Attalidou

SUMMARY:Our souls longing for songs 
DESCRIPTION:26/2 Our souls longing for songs \nFri 19:00 (75’) \nIn a peculiar era where everything is re-organised and disorganised\, constantly readjusting and changing\, our only lifeline\, our hope and light\, is found in the songs lasting through the years\, those resisting time\, those never forgotten. At every concert\, our lips still whisper the lyrics\, despite the decades that have elapsed. They remind us of our very own childhood and teenage memories\, of feasts and celebrations\, of days with friends and old love stories. \nVakia Stavrou performs a repertoire of beloved songs from every corner of the globe\, in her own magical\, simple and natural way. Let the dance begin\, let the miracle unfold! \nAccompanied by pianist Manolis Neofytou.
