The Municipality of Hersonissos hosts for free the cultural event concerning the theatrical play “Kapetan Michalis”, on Friday 28th of July, 2017, at 21:00, at the theater of Agia Paraskevi at Hersonissos Port.
Just before the theatrical play (18:00-20:00) an experiential seminar will take place focusing on the theatrical play in order for the attendants to understand the messages that the play conveys. The theatrical play is directed by Vasilis Vasilakis while the Theatrical Group “MIST” will present it.
“Kapetan Michalis” is one of the leading literary works of the great Cretan writer, Nikos Kazantzakis, to whom the year 2017 is dedicated and has been declared as the Year of Nikos Kazantzakis.
In this novel of Nikos Kazantzakis, the fundamental contrasts of people, the pure patriotic feeling, love, everyday life (violent and comical at the same time), the successive revolts and frustration reveal the anthropological depth of the work and place it out of its historical context making it timeless and currently relevant.
The ‘Kapetan Michalis” play is organized by the Social Welfare Directorate- Region of Crete. The entrance is free ( in Greek without translation ).
