Vassilis Noulas – Nova Melancholia

Maritime Hot Baths

This new production by the avant-garde Nova Melancholia group is based on three short stories from Elias Papadimitrakopoulos’ collection Maritime Hot Baths (1980). The light, languid, summery tone of the performance belies its underlying melancholy and existential dread, lurking in the dark like seaweed beneath a blue sea. The language is low-key, familiar, and precise, flowing smoothly and naturally. By contrast, the characters’ palpable anxiety unmasks the false charms of the summer. Nova Melancholia employs its playful, tongue-in-cheek, deconstructive style to debunk the drowsy daydreaming usually associated with the season. The performance will draw on successful summer-themed and sea-themed films and songs.
