9 Mar 2025The “AFENOS KINOUMAI” group embarks on a new endeavor with the first theatrical adaptation of Menelaos Lountemis’ lyrical novel Ecstasy. This unique work stands out for its distinctive concept and development compared to his other creations.
“The author himself describes this work as ‘mythofantasy’ (mythical fantasy), as it reveals his quests regarding the meaning of life, happiness, ideal love, loneliness, the inevitability of death, and the role of art in life…
I don’t know how much I loved you in another life, in this one, this is all I could manage…
“An insect came and sat on my hand. Can I die?” it asked me. “No,” I replied, “because I love.”
Have you ever sat down to listen to a quiet night? No. It’s because then, it listens to us. A blind night, perhaps even dead… Moonless nights, deep purple, ebony nights.
The action is framed with movement and contemporary dance, accompanied by an original musical composition, while one actor will embody different roles, dictated by the unique language, lyrical tenderness, and experiential writing of Menelaos Ludemis. As daring and demanding as this endeavor was, it is equally provocative.
A challenge for us!! A challenge for you!!
