National Theatre of Northern Greece

World Premiere: Saturday February 17, 2024

Theatre of the Society for Macedonian Studies – Foyer

In this new play by Yiorgos Veltsos, the exploration of memory, death, and immortality serves as a symbolic funeral for traditional theater and historical conventions. The power struggle between the deceased and the living unfolds as historical figures lose their significance, giving way to a sense of lamentation and political undertones that reflect the feeling of loss. The lingering question: who will emerge victorious?
