The theatrical gem of Giorgos Dialegmenos is coming this summer to The «Hellenic Cosmos» Cultural Centre
The masterpiece of Giorgos Dialegmenos, «We Lost Aunt Stop», comes to life this summer at the Atrium of The «Hellenic Cosmos» Cultural Centre, in a production by the theatrical production company Methexis and directed by Christos Tripodis. Starring in alphabetical order: Jenny Diagoupi, Joyce Eveidi, Vivian Kontomari, Natassa Kotsovou, Giorgos Souxes, Orestis Tziovas, Haris Chiotis.
In the play «We Lost Aunt Stop», Thanasis and Ourania live in misery and the constant complaints brought by poverty, in Gazi during the 1950s. In the room next door lies their bedridden and dying aunt, whose inheritance they rely on to fulfill their dreams of a better life. A quarrel, a wrong move, brings about her death a little earlier than expected. A death that does not bring the much-desired solution but instead becomes the spark for a great «explosion».
The theater critic, Kostas Georgousopoulos, has said about Giorgos Dialegmenos
«Giorgos Dialegmenos fell like a meteor into our theatrical scene. And he turned out to be a luminous galaxy that merely pretended to be a comet to mislead us. I believe this comparison almost revealingly explains the way he operates in our theatrical interactions—this folk ironist… Dialegmenos wrote only masterpieces. There is no indifferent, mediocre, or controversial work of his. A rare phenomenon in world theater.»
