Number of performances: 8Thirty-two years after its now legendary presentation at the Peroket Theater(1991-92), George Valaris directs and revives the musical performance “The Sixth Floor” with a staff of great artists. Based on the comedy that characterizes Anna Panagiotopoulou’s successful adaptation of Alfred Alfred Gehri popular play – which has been translated and performed with great success almost all over the world from 1938 to the present day – Stamatis Kraounakis and Lina Nikolakopoulou have created perhaps the most famous and beloved songs ever heard in the last decades in a theatrical performance, (“What time is it, what day is it and what year is it”, “The Song of the Gossip Girl”, “The Song of Jealousy”, “The Handrail”, etc.).
The premise of the work is timeless and particularly relevant today. In the 1930s, the tenants of an apartment building in Paris are living in a state of crisis. The daily life of the residents of the sixth floor unfolds through the loves, conflicts, endless fights, constant incidents and the dreams that each one makes for his life.
Dreams big and small, dreams that give every person the strength to endure the difficulties of everyday life. Only in the course of the play, the heroes will realize that above and beyond dreams – which unfortunately so rarely come true – there is love, companionship, solidarity, the feeling that we remain united in the face of every difficulty. And it is only through this sense that we can emerge true winners in the game of life.
