Ancient Theatre of Maronia, Rodopi
A village built between the mountains and the sea, providing its inhabitants food and protection, starts getting eroded by the presence of a factory that is progressively destroying its land, air and water resources. A remarkable stage experience that brings to life the story of the students from Anthopyrgos who are fighting to save their land.
What happens when the first signs of pollution appear? When the first tree, the first animal dies? How can this destruction displace a whole community? How can a teacher manage to save an entire village with the power of his students? In this production, Galatia Grigoriadou-Soureli’s literary work is transformed into direct theatrical speech while modern dance and contact improvisation, by employing the forces of gravity, turn movement into pictures and create dance-theatre images that set the pace for the change of scenes and the work’s rapid development.
