Stench. We’re surrounded by corpses again.

The Mutabor theatre company presents the original play Kane ligo pio kei, a performance that explores, through the absurd, the grotesque and the painfully familiar, the human need for freedom, the burden of social roles, family, love, alienation and death.

In an apartment.

High-ceil-inged. Clut-tered.

Inside, a Lady, a Maid, a son, Lo, and between them, the corpses.

Always inside.

Locked in the house, they try to digest the roles they believe life has forced upon them.

But what happens when someone decides not to obey? Resisting social conventions can bring freedom. But is everyone capable of handling the weight of being free?
‎

The Play

In a high-ceilinged, cluttered apartment lives Lo’s family: the Lady, his mother, a Maid, and corpses.

Lo works as a corpse cleaner. His daily encounters with the dead exhaust him, while at the same time becoming, paradoxically, a form of liberation.

The Lady constantly demands that he fulfil roles, identities, wishes and chores. She grows increasingly irritated; the more pressure he is under, the more he rises up against her.

Completing the picture is the Maid, who is constantly searching for her mop.

And the corpses? Like conductors, they shape the flow of the story as the characters gradually begin to lose their sense of self and their certainties.

Until a letter disrupts the fragile balance.

In the end, if you free yourself from the role you were given, are you ready to take responsibility for your freedom?

The Performance

Kane ligo pio kei places at its centre the responsibility that comes with shedding social roles.

In a society that demands that we all be functional, useful and accepted, what price does someone pay when they refuse to conform to the profile of the “healthy”, socially acceptable person?

What happens when someone does not want to perform the role assigned to them? How much alienation and loneliness can freedom conceal? And how easily does difference become deviation, and deviation become stigma?

In the world of the play, the corpses embody the doubt that arises when people feel inadequate in the face of what is expected of them.

Why do we build our own prison and remain inside it, even when there is an escape plan?

And ultimately: do the characters find liberation, or do they remain imprisoned?

HORNY FANS

INDEPENDENT ARTISTS

‎

Within a reality shaped by economic insecurity, the home becomes a space for invention, where the body, the image, everyday life and time become materials for negotiation. The need for survival encounters desire, the absurd, and the persistent attempt to imagine a future.

The home becomes a stage.

The body becomes content.

Desire becomes labour.

And time becomes space.

Amid a reality of economic insecurity, some people search for a way to keep going. The need to survive becomes a need to invent, and the home gradually transforms into an improvised space of work and exposure.

What once belonged to private life begins to become material. Intimacy becomes content, and life starts to resemble a performance that never ends.

It is then that time becomes strange. What happened yesterday may feel as though it happened only moments ago, while tomorrow remains constantly outside the frame.

THE TRUTH IS

by Dimitris Dimitriadis
Directed by Grigoris Karantinakis
‎

2nd successful year

‎

Truth, antonym: Falsehood

Falsehood, synonym: Non-acceptance of the Truth

Dimitris Dimitriadis’ The Truth Is, directed by Grigoris Karantinakis, could be an incident from a police report, elevated through the dimensions of poetic language, dramatic writing and dramaturgy.

And yet, it is a contemporary portrait of human character, deeply existential and intensely charged: a confessional text that reveals the dark side of truth.

Two figures are present, the father and the mother, while their son, deafeningly absent yet ever-present, unravels the thread of their truth.

Their son’s life does not conform to their principles. Their seemingly spotless environment, their respectable family and their devout image all collapse when their child chooses to be “different.” Their values, beliefs and principles are shaken, and so they decide to remove him from their lives.

The play lays bare the hypocrisy and violence of the contemporary human being’s false life. The parents remain steadfast in their harsh decision, impatient for its implementation, and endure its consequences.

In one of his most revealing theatrical texts, Dimitriadis gives voice to truth, not so that it may be heard, but because it can no longer remain silent.

A performance about the things we have never dared to say.
‎

But will we ever speak our own truths?

Golden Record

The b.p.m. theatre group presents the new theatre work by Danai Liodaki

‎

What is worth preserving from the history of humanity? This is the question from which Golden Record, the new performance by Danai Liodaki, takes its starting point. The performance takes us back to 1977, when NASA created a record containing music, images and sounds and sent it into space aboard the Voyager mission, in an attempt to introduce life on Earth to an unknown extraterrestrial recipient. The performance returns to this real-life event, revisiting it in an era of war and destruction.

Almost fifty years after the spacecraft was launched, two sisters, while clearing out their parents’ house in a small village in Greece, discover a series of letters that bring a family secret to light. As they unravel the thread of the story, they travel through Greece during the struggle against the dictatorship and into a world changing at dizzying speed. From the neighbourhoods of New York and the creators of the Golden Record, to the Lebanese Civil War and the Palestinian people’s resistance, personal journeys become inextricably intertwined with major historical events of recent decades, revealing a hidden history that emerges from the past to illuminate the future.

Blending fiction with real historical figures and events, Golden Record is a work about memory, loss, and resistance to oblivion. A deeply anti-war work that seeks out the stories of those who were left outside official historical narratives.

Danai Liodaki (“Match,” “Those You Didn’t Get to See,” “Hyperspace or Otherwise…,” “With the Bees or with the Wolves”) continues to engage with contemporary political and social issues, proposing theatrical forms that combine elements of contemporary fiction and documentary theatre. The play Golden Record is published by Kapa Publishing.

The performance was presented as part of the 2026 programme of the Greek Ministry of Culture’s “All of Greece, One Culture” initiative.
