Don Quixote
The Regional Municipal Theatre of Kozani presents the masterpiece of Miguel Cervantes "Don Quixote", adapted for stage and directed by Giannis Karahisarides, with Giorgos Kimoulis in the part of Don Quixote and Demetris Piatas in the part of Sancho.A play that is meaningful, monumental and balances between the tragic and the comic, emotion and laughter, vividly portraying the true essence of his hero: the eternal daydreamer Don Quixote De la Mancha! That is, a man whose actions are far from what is considered common sense, who is ready to go where the brave never dared go, and never stops trying, even when exhaustion weighs down his body and soul.
Cast
Giorgos Kimoulis, Demetris Piatas, Klio-Danai Othoneou, Isidoros Stamoulis, Giorgos Ziovas, Giorgos Giannopoulos, Vasilis Poulakos, Thodoris Prokopiou, Stavroula Spyridonos, Maria Papagiannaki-Komi, Mihalis Sakkoulis, Giannis Milonas

19th century India. The story tells of the contrast between two civilizations and the love that crosses national frontiers
Nikalantha a Brahmin priest and sworn enemy of the British colonists, has entrusted his daughter Lakme with the tending of the sacred garden while he would be away. A group of British visitors enter the sacred garden and Gerald, an English officer, falls in love with Lakme, who reciprocates the feelings. Nikalantha is furious for the violation of the holy garden and seeks the guilty person. The priest dresses as a pauper and forces his daughter to sing at the market so as to attract the culprit. Gerald falls into the trap and Nikalantha stabs him. Lakme hides her lover in a hut in the forest and tends him until he recovers. Frederick, Gerald's friend, informs him that he has to return to his military duties and Lakme poisons herself.

Actors:
Anthi Antoniadou

Dancer: Lena Hadzidaki
Musicians:
Petros Georkatzis (violin)
Euripides Dikaios (percussion)
The Anerada Theatre Company presents excerpts from Statius’ epic poem Thebaid, adapted for stage. Book 12 of the Roman epic Thebaid begins where Aeschylus’ Seven against Thebes ends, follows the plot of Euripides’ The Suppliants and culminates with the burial of Polynices from Sophocles’ Antigone. Adding details and characters from other versions of the Theban myths and introducing the presence of gods into the plot, Statius creates a compelling tale about the heroism of women. The performance constitutes the world stage premiere of a fascinating dramatic text.A group of young artists from Cyprus rediscover Thebaid and transform the well-known myth into a rhapsody sung by a “chorus” of five women, a rhapsody inspired by ancient tragedy and the rhapsodist tradition.
