THE DEATH OF AN ACTOR

Alt text

Dulcinea Compania
The Death of an Actor
Inspired by the short story “The Death of a Government Clerk” by Anton Chekhov
Directed by Anna-Maria Iakovou

Dulcinea presents “The Death of an Actor,” directed by Anna-Maria Iakovou, a performance inspired by three short stories by Anton Chekhov. Beginning with the famous sneeze of the civil servant Chervyakov in The Death of a Government Clerk, the performance brings Chekhov’s universe into the contemporary reality of the artist, where social devaluation and insecurity often turn into an internalized sense of guilt. Two actors, a musician and a civil servant create a theatrical landscape that moves between theatre and performance, echoing the memory of old travelling theatre troupes, while exploring with irony and tenderness the burden of public exposure and the fragile position of artists in today’s world.

The performance “The Death of an Actor” is presented under the auspices and with the financial
support of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture.

collapse:data.models.worlds.
Artist talks & discussion

With the participation of Latent Community, Maria Mavropoulou, Felix Stalder
Moderated by Daphne Dragona, Katerina Gkoutziouli

What changes in an era of possible environmental and computational collapse? How do technological solutions connect to the exhaustion of natural resources? Is it possible for infrastructural and ecological systems to sustain one another, and assist in restoring environmental and social balance?

As part of collapse: data.models.worlds, this panel invites exhibition participants to share their artistic research and methodologies defining their practice. The artistic duo Latent Community will present their ongoing investigation into extractive infrastructures and energy regimes in Western Macedonia, tracing a trajectory from lignite-based economies to the expanding energetic demands of cloud computation. Artist Maria Mavropoulou will discuss the phenomenon of ‘model collapse’, examining the recursive decay of content production in relation to cultural flattening and environmental exhaustion. Media theorist Felix Stalder will reflect on his work with artists Vladan Joler and Gordan Savičić mapping the social, technological, informational, and ecological relations involved in the rewilding of a specific bird species.

The panel will explore practices of visualization, mapping, and documentation as critical tools for engaging with infrastructures of data, energy, and ecology. Particular attention will be given to questions of sovereignty, forms of resistance, and the potential for collective imaginaries of viable futures.

The discussion will be held in English.

The exhibition will be open to visitors before the event, 17.00-19.00.

 

collapse: data.models.worlds runs until 2 April 2026 at Saigon, Athens, realized with the support of NEON Organization for Culture and Development, Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia, and Error 417 Expectation Failed.

“3.14” is an album about the cycle of life — about joy and sorrow, about everything that feels like an ending which, when turned around, becomes a beginning. Like the number that gives the album its title, its songs move in a circular orbit of return, transformation, and continuity.

The lyrics are co-written with Mimi Tataki.

The evening of March 20 is an open invitation to share all the moments that shaped this album and to sing songs from the Greek discography that resonate in dialogue with “3.14.”

Guest artists on stage:
Iro
Vasilis Prodromou
Anastasia Chatziapostolidou

MIRROŘING

Alt text

MIRROŘING
MnIM

The dance performance Mirrořing seeks to illuminate that moment when everything around us slows down and silence takes over — a moment in which we can tune in to our deepest needs.

Two performers move along parallel paths through space and time. They shift from the public sphere and the arena of everyday life into their private sphere, where they allow their vulnerable sides — those they constantly try to hide — to surface and be revealed. They shift between exposure and privacy, between the image they construct in order to survive and the real one they inevitably face when looking in the mirror. An ode to what is lost when the rhythms of daily life become relentless and unbearable, to the confrontation with social expectations and demands — to two people persistently seeking a new balance, even when everything around them feels so difficult.

Following the solo Modulus of Resilience, choreographer Iro Konti invites us to envision life beyond the vortex of the contemporary lifestyle.

 

Duration: 45 minutes (no intermission)

(LITTLE) EYOLF

Alt text

Little Eyolf
by Henrik Ibsen
Directed by Dinos Psychogios

Dinos Psychogios takes on Henrik Ibsen’s classic masterpiece Little Eyolf, proposing a contemporary stage interpretation of the story through the lens of a generation struggling to redefine the values, boundaries, and responsibilities inherited from those who came before it.

On stage, an exceptional group of actors comes together: Alexandros Vardaxoglou, Aulona Lupa, Phaedra Angelaki, and Pashe Kolofotias.

In one of his mature realist works, written in 1894, Ibsen does not confine himself to the expected reactions to such a devastating reality but ventures much deeper. He focuses on the catalytic consequences of grief and guilt upon his favored subject of study—the couple—who, through sorrow and pain, are called to redefine their place in the world, to repair what can be repaired, and to discover new ways of connecting.

Director’s Note

How do we measure loss? What does “human responsibility” truly mean?

A child is lost at sea. With his death, he becomes the mirror in which his parents are forced to confront themselves: their unfulfilled desires, their guilt, their inability to connect. Regret for what was not done when it should have been turns into mourning, anger, and estrangement. Eyolf was always the shadow that concealed their secrets.

For us, Eyolf’s loss symbolizes the dreams we have lost. The lost expectations of our generation. The absence of every Eyolf compels people to look themselves straight in the eye—as individuals, as members of communities, as parents, siblings, partners. In a generation marked by uncertainty, excessive technology, fragile freedom, declining birth rates, and the constant renegotiation of the institution of the family, the concept of “human responsibility” carries a new weight—one we are trying to bear.
