Tebas Land By Sergio Blanco: August 17 at the 10th Andros International Festival
THEATER
Tebas Land By Sergio Blanco
Open Theatre of Andros
Saturday August 17 at 21:00
Directed by Vangelis Theodoropoulos Neos Kosmos Theatre
The play:
A writer has been meeting Martin, a 20-year old parricide, for several months in jail. He wants to write a play based on the story of the young prisoner, to whom he suggests performing himself on stage. When this is eventually prohibited by the ministry in charge, the role is taken on by Federico, a young actor who has been collaborating with the writer. Remarkably, Sergio Blanco has these two roles performed by the same actor.
French-Uruguayan Sergio Blanco, one of the strongest contemporary voices of Spanish-language theatre, delivers a contemporary study on male identity, oppression, violence and crime, punishment and discrimination, as well as the creative processes of music and theatre, with references to the Oedipus Myth and Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment.
Vangelis Theodoropoulos has brought the best out of this multidimensional play; both critics and audience applaud Theodoropoulos’ direction for its exceptional pace and evocative atmosphere. The performance is also praised for the outstanding acting of Thanos Lekkas as the role of the Writer, and Dimitris Kapouranis playing the double role of Martin/Federico, whilst the shows have been continuously sold-out for the past two years.
