Effi Theodorou

The Satin Slipper, or, The Worst is not the Surest
by Paul Claudel



Effi Theodorou directs Paul Claudel’s The Satin Slipper, a paean to the limitless possibilities of the theatre, the stage where “poor Man can, for a few hours, feel like a god”. An oeuvre fleuve which, with daring and naivety, employs every form of theatre from the pathétique to the burlesque, and every mode of acting, to tell of the human adventure: wars of expansion, religious intolerance, the conquest of the New World, and—at the epicenter of the action—Love as a means of knowing the Other: God.

With Maximos Moumouris, Maria Skoula, Haris Frangoulis, Periklis Moustakis, Konstantinos Avarikiotis and Marianna Dimitriou et.al.
