The Life of Attic at Pallas Theater
April 13, 2018 @ 9:00 pm - June 3, 2018 @ 11:30 pm
Start: 13 April 2018
End: 3 June 2018
Perfomance Title: In Search of Attic
An extravaganza, dedicated to the work and life of one of the greatest Greek artists, is celebrated daily at the Pallas Theatre.
A brilliant musical theatre performance with a lot of emotion and humour and with an amazing company starring: Akis Sakellariou, Antonis Kafetzopoulos, Katerina Papoutsaki, Nadia Kontogeorgis, Minos Theocharis, Konstantinos Aspiotis, as well as a large group of talented actors, singers and musicians.
Particularly honorable and imposing was the presence of the unique Zozos Sapountzaki, in one of the great moments of her great career!!!!
The show is enriched with new texts and songs, which in combination with the new “dream team” distribution and the impressive sets and costumes create a completely new show, superior according to the opinion of the audience since the first performance in 2012. The texts and the selection of songs are the result of systematic historical and musical research with the knowledge and authority of Lambros Liavas, while the ingenious lyrical interludes are signed by Yannis Xanthooulis. The stage direction and choreography has been undertaken by the renowned Sofia Spyratou, the orchestration and orchestra direction by Theodoros Kotepanos, while Manolis Pantelidakis is in charge of the new sets and costumes.
A charming performance that invites today’s audience to revisit the exact memories and sensations that have shaped our sensibility. A satisfying musical and dance retrospective without a “retro” mood, but with a lot of humour, sarcasm, tenderness and emotion. Melodies and lyrics that have influenced all subsequent creators and have accompanied generations in their loves, joys and sorrows (Ask me to tell you, Poppy, The youth, I saw eyes, The last jasmine etc.).
Attik and his era, sounds, voices, instruments and exquisite music, forms of an ideal troupe, come to life on stage. The unforgettable “Mantra”, the musical courtyard of wonders is uniquely revived highlighting the “great art of little songs” that still concerns and inspires us!
