After two unique performances, one at the outdoor sculpture gallery of Zongolopoulos in December 2021 and one at the Municipal Slaughterhouses of Tavros in May 2022, the “Witches” meet their audience again reformed and with new content. This time at PLYFA for only 10 performances.
This play is performed in Greek.
The project
“The Witches” is a performance in progress, which acrobats between stage composition and lyrical performance. It is based on the play by Natasa Sideri, which was written on the occasion of the events of violence against women. With material from historical records of gender-based violence in Europe, but also from the Greek oral tradition, as well as the contemporary paradoxical “Greekness”, the work highlights the timelessness of women’s issues, already present in narratives of the past, but still alive as demands to this day.
The performance is under the auspices of the General Secretariat of Family Policy and Gender Equality and is part of UNESCO’s actions to combat gender-based violence, “Orange the World”.
After the enthusiastic reception of the audience and critics in the spring of 2022 on the main stage of BIOS, the show “Pethaino san Chora” comes to ΠΛΥΦΑ for a few performances
This play is perfromed in Greek.
The play Pethaino san Chora”, written in 1978 by Dimitris Dimitriadis, makes us witnesses of a country that is at the end of time, at a critical historical moment when no woman gives birth to a child anymore. After a thousand years of war and while the enemy army is about to cross the border from time to time, we see the exhausted nation welcoming a new historical cycle. At those moments, the multifaceted kingdom of fantasy is enthroned in all heads and world-historical rearrangements take place. The end of an era has come like the premeditated death of an incurable disease.
Double performances on 18/12/22, 08/01/23 and 15/01/23 – at 18:30 and 21:00.

This play is performed in Greek.
Almost a year after “Antonio or the message” by Loula Anagnostaki, a performance that was well received, the Little Things Orchestra returns to PLYFA with Edouard Louis’ work “Who Killed my Father”, which is staged for first time in Greece, directed by Christos Theodoridis.
The show has been sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Sports.
A musical-theatrical production based on Bost’s play and original music by Henri Kergomard.
Ritsaki, a four-year-old girl, disappears from the face of the earth in the middle of the day while she was fishing with her father. This is where the play begins. Or not. Inside the living room of a 19th century bourgeois family, Bost invites the viewer to see the effects of “civilization” on human life and works.
