The City Lights, by Charlie Chaplin

Music: Thodoris Oikonomou
Lyrics: Stavros Stavrou
Direction: Amalia Bennett

From October 25, 2023

The performance that thrilled the audience and critics returns
for a second year at the "THEATRON", Hellenic Cosmos Cultural Centre



A wandering unemployed man, Charlot, falls in love with a blind flower seller and does everything to secure the money for the operation that will give her sight. With the ragged hero struggling to survive in the violent environment of extreme economic liberalism as its central axis, the legendary film of American cinema takes the form of a unique theatrical musical that narrates, through the language of music and dance, a universal story of love that transcends linguistic and cultural barriers. Live music, singing, and the energy of the creators come together to pay tribute to the genius "melancholy clown," the heroism of ordinary people, and the archetypal values of life.


Against the backdrop of the American economic Crash, City Lights is both a touching comedy and an urban parable that deals with social injustice and selfless love. A film with the most beautiful ending in the history of cinema, a work that mirrors the harsh interwar period and glorifies the uncompromising life, selfless giving, and boundless love.
