Thanassis Sarantos / A Dream on the Wave
by Alexandros Papadiamantis
In this, the centenary of Alexandros Papadiamantis’ death, Thanassis Sarantos tackles A Dream on the wave, one of the writer’s most important works and the first short story in modern Greek literature to describe a nude.
The story of the young shepherd’s encounter with Moschoula speaks of the carefree spirit of youth, of bucolic simplicity and happiness close to nature, but it also sheds light on a traumatic, unconsummated passion in a production which combines dramatized narrative with live music and the moving image to convey the unique atmosphere of Papadiamantis’ work.
