Sforaris Theatre Co – Yiannis Kalavrianos

Daughters and sons; a play on the quest of happiness

“What can make people happy today?” In the light of an ever more demanding present, the Sforaris theatre company which delighted audiences with Fables or Little everyday tragedies, taps into the wisdom of the aged in search of the secret of life.
 
In video interviews, Greek senior citizens relate episodes indelibly marked in their memories which the young cast then enacts on stage. These micro histories shed light on fragments of History stretching from the Inter-war period, the Nazi Occupation and the Civil War through to the 2004 Athens Olympics.
