Partali – The story of a man who dressed as a woman

Based on the novel by Theodore Grigoriadis

Partali, the protagonist in the monologue based on Theodoros Grigoriadis’ novel of the same name, is a man who has learnt to wear women’s clothes to survive, turning a traumatic life into a spectacular on-stage performance. In his triple capacity as a director, psychiatrist and drama therapist, Stelios Krasanakis has encountered a range of characters in the past who have opened a window on the individual and collective psyche. In Partali, disguise, transvestitism and a particular social milieu combine to comment on the formation of sexual identity and the hybridization of Modern Greek identity in a production in which personal and national history are interwoven.
 
Featuring Christos Stergioglou, one of the most influential actors in his generation, in the challenging title role.
 
A production of the Athens Festival in collaboration with the Festival of Naxos.
