The production Green Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, written and directed by Nikos Dafnis, is based on the following concept: A famous environmentalist has arrived to give a lecture about the environment, interrupting the rehearsal of a group of actors preparing a theatre performance. The “professor” proposes to them to improvise (as artists) on the things that he himself (as a scientist) would like to talk about in his lecture. And so the show begins…
The work is about the degradation of our life from rampant industrial growth and the brutal and unpunished exploitation of the natural environment. The contamination of water resources, reckless deforestation, the invasion of chemistry into the food chain, the extinction of free space in the cities etc. are all problems that audience members of all ages can relate to. The choice of the old known directorial device of “theatre within the theatre” encourages child spectators to get involved in the show.
