MOLOTOV VODKA
Spread the word
Eleni Radou's explosive comedy based on Neil Simon's adaptation of Chekhov's short stories continues on a winter tour after the massive summer success and the constant sold-outs in Athens and Thessaloniki.
A few words about the project:
Anton Chekhov sketches characters from both the urban centres and the countryside of pre-revolutionary Russia, magnifying their habits, obsessions, fears, attachment to their petty interests, naivety, and cunning in a slick but always sympathetic way. On stage, typical types of his time and society parade. From teachers and nannies to priests and dentists. All universal and eternal heroes surrender to the judgment of all of us for yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Eleni Radou titled her "Molotov Vodka" adaptation, winking at the audience for the theatrical "explosion" of laughter and emotion they are about to experience. Her text has linguistic immediacy and humorous wit. With all their quirks, mistakes, woes and desires, the Chekhovian heroes will share their tears, melancholy smiles and redemptive laughter with us. At a time when the different characters, the different points of view from ideological and national stereotypes, even the opposite leaf or the other race, as well as the various political affiliations, are treated with an almost cannibalistic attitude, with sermons of hatred and depreciation, the love of Chekhov about the man as well as his humour can prove to be a catalyst.
Nikorestis Chaniotakis sets up a contemporary performance of fast rhythms, with nerve, ingenuity and theatrical euphoria, with eight excellent actors. On stage, we will also see Anton Chekhov himself through the interpretation of Tasos Chalkias.
