Effi Theodorou
The Satin Slipper -or- The Worst is not the Surest, by Paul Claudel
Effi Theodorou directs Paul Claudel’s historical parable The satin slipper(1924), 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.
