Concerning the story of the play:

The Athanasiou Theater Company presents the performance Karagiozis Captain. It is a performance adapted from the Greek folk tale with impressive alternations of scenes. Karagiozis dreams from a young age to travel and get to know the whole world. But because he does not have money, he does not hesitate to lie and declare himself to be a captain in order for his dream to come true.

Our folk hero is inviting young and old to come and be entertained with his jokes.

The Theater of Crete presents the play “Ta Vedouzopotira” (cups used for therapeutic purposes in order to treat influenza and cold) by Roula Orphanoudaki.

The play is a hilarious Cretan ethography that presents the stories of pure, honest and traditional Cretans, in a village in Crete. Through their characters, they impart the folkway of this blessed place. Laughter and emotion are constantly alternated with each other, as it happens in our real and daily life. The play is embellished with traditional music that emphasizes even more the culture of our country.

Theatrical modification and adaptation: Manos Zeibekis
Direction: Manos Zeibekis
