"...Once upon a time in a small town that still looked like a village there lived a unique tailor. Unique not only because there was no other tailor in town but because this tailor made his clothes with words! He carefully chose his words for each individual resident, so wearing his clothes they spent their winters warm and summers always cool. But time passed, the city grew and the inhabitants became hasty and forgetful and forgot Raftakos. And a winter fell so heavy that none of their new clothes could warm them. Then they remembered their Raftako who weaved the words so beautifully and warmed up again. Because words are what warm, cool and ultimately comfort every heart...."
«Ο Ραφτάκος των λέξεων» του Αντώνη Παπαθεοδούλου έγινε η sold out παράσταση της σεζόν 2019-2020 στο Ίδρυμα Μιχάλης Κακογιάννης, στην καλοκαιρινή περιοδεία (2021), στο θέατρο Άνεσις, έχοντας συμπληρώσει περισσότερες από 300 παραστάσεις!
Ένα σύγχρονο παραμύθι που έχει κερδίσει τις καρδιές μικρών και μεγάλων, τρυφερό, συγκινητικό και επίκαιρο όσο ποτέ, μιλά για τη δύναμη των λέξεων, για την ανάγκη της ανθρώπινης επικοινωνίας, για την αγάπη, την παρηγοριά και τη ζεστασιά που προσφέρει ο ανθρώπινος λόγος.
After the sold out performances with the play “The Raftakos of Words” by Antonis Papatheodoulou at the Michalis Kakogiannis Foundation, at the theater of Chora, the theater group Mikros Notos brings the favorite story of young and old to life again. “The Raftakos of words”, a modern fairy tale that has won the hearts of young and old, tender, touching and relevant as ever, talks about the power of words, about the need for human communication, about love, comfort and warmth offered by human reason.
Mikros Notos brings to life before our eyes a much-loved book of children and adults. With pure materials – live music, movement, interaction, pantomime – the theater group Mikros Notos creates a hand-made performance as warm and as colorful as the blanket of Raftakos that wrapped and finally warmed all the inhabitants of his town.
