MATCH
B.p.m. theater group & Danae Liodaki
Following the success of their play “Those You Didn’t Catch in Time,” the B.p.m. theater group presents the new theatrical work by Danae Liodaki, “Match.” This dark comedy about the end of love explores romantic relationships with humor and sensitivity, asking the question: how can love overcome obstacles such as individualism, consumerism, and the uncertainty of endless choices to survive in a society that seems to be against it?
“Match” follows the tragic story of Elle, the last romantic, the last woman who believed in love—and who paid a high price for it. Elle tries to find love through technology, using the dating apps we all know. When this search proves disappointing, she doesn’t give up. Instead, with the help of two close friends, she decides to create her own dating app to fight for the survival of romance in the modern era. But things don’t go as planned.
Danae Liodaki continues to tackle contemporary social issues with a humorous and fresh perspective. This original, modern play, “Match,” soon to be published by Kapa Publishing, invites us to see the political dimension of romantic relationships today. In an era where love becomes increasingly challenging, Elle and her friends call on us to reinvent love in all its forms, insisting: “Resist the disenchantment of life with us! Resist the end of love with us!”
The production is supported financially by the Ministry of Culture.
