STILL! A STATUE THAT TRAVELED THE WORLD

STILL! A STATUE THAT TRAVELED THE WORLD

The director Kostas Silvestros and the choreographer Panayiotis Tofi jointly compose a musical feast of images and colors having been seduced by the story invented by the lyricist Stavros Stavrou and the original music by the leading Greek pianist and composer Thodoris Economou. The show is for audience members of all ages and nationalities given that language is not an obstacle; the language used in the play is an imaginary one, “invented” by Stavros Stavrou especially.

A girl in a boat embarks on her journey into the unknown, trying to escape the horror of war. He finds refuge in an unknown country and rests on a bench, underneath a soldier statue. Very soon a crazy revelation overturns everything: it is a statue that is alive! Can a statue and a girl become forever friends and travel the world together? Can the girl teach the statue what it's like to be truly alive and convince him to leave the sword that he holds firmly all the time?
