Efthimis Filippou – Angeliki Papoulia

Etymologies

In a landmark building for Greek history, we attend a lecture where invented etymologies of various Greek words are listed by a lecturer. By means of language and elements from mythology, Efthimis Filippou’s new work explores the relationship between history and History, observing the gap between lies and truth and the thin line that separates the subjective from the objective.

In their new collaboration, the internationally acclaimed and award-winning artists Efthimis Filippou and Angeliki Papoulia co-direct a performance that seeks to highlight the importance of uncertainty, doubt, and ambiguity in relation to language, communication, and national identity.
