“The Court of Miracles – The Musical” at Pallas Theater

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Iakovos Kampanellis, the cultural organization Lycophos in collaboration with the Theatrical Scenes presents a great theatrical project, from 9 to 20 November. 

The “Karolos Koun” award-winning director, Christos Sugaris, and the internationally acclaimed soloist and composer Stefanos Korcolis, sign a special version of the most emblematic work of modern Greek theatre, the “Court of Miracles”, in the form of a musical.

With them, a unique staff of collaborators and stars.

Gerasimos Evaggelatos on the lyrics, Marissa Triantafyllidou on the dramaturgy and Fokas Evaggelinos on the choreography. The sets and costumes are designed by Eleni Manolopoulou, while the lighting is by Alekos Anastasiou. Starring Giorgos Gallos, Alexandros Bourdoumis, Katerina Papoutsaki, Roula Pateraki, Manos Vakousis, Cora Karvouni, Maria Diakopanagiotou and the international mezzo-soprano Irini Karagianni. Together with Filareti Komninu and Dimitris Pyatas, in an excellent 17-member company. Anastasios Simeonidis conducts a ten-piece orchestra.

The Court of Miracles by Iakovos Kampanelis is a hymn to the perpetual effort of the Greek to overcome narrow geographical boundaries, to shake off perpetual poverty, to face the lack of stability and to put down roots in a place where he can prosper. The high ethos of the play’s characters and their passions is based on the lack of stability and certainty that characterizes our lives, which begins with our erratic climate, our ‘strategic’ geographical location, the poverty of our land and ends in our private economy. Everything in Greece goes up and down very easily, rolls over, goes away – and our most frequent longing is to settle down somewhere, to make sure that from now on ‘everything will be fine’.
