"Babades with Rum", the legendary new Greek comedy by Thanasis Papathanasiou + Michalis Reppas with consecutive sold-outs and killer humour, is going on a summer tour throughout Greece starting in June.
Starring: Vicky Stavropoulou, Christos Hatzipanagiotis, Sofia Vogiatzaki, Konstantinos Gavalas, Niki Lamis and Konstantina Michael.
But what are "Babades" after all?
It is a sharp satire, presented for the first time in 1996, that satirises Greek society—a society that, unfortunately, continues to be bigger than itself, "smaller" in its behaviour, greedy, racist, and offensive in all its manifestations.
Of course, a lot has happened since then. A new millennium has dawned, and a new reality has settled among us: upheavals, cancelled plans, countless new social media, life redefinitions and chaos. The class identity change that many sought began to cause losses instead of gains. Houses were "closed", and chain stores suffocated their owners. However, the non-existent authorities remained just as stable and perhaps even more criminal. The term "crisis of conscience" is not often heard. The "crisis" remained pure.
The story of the five stupid, misfit, and desperate cleaners in the show is banal, everyday life in our time. Roi, Vesca, Panagiotis, Djeni, Christos and Mrs Vasso are now people who belong to the realm of realism after they jumped out of the pages of the play. They are moving crimes that we meet and greet every day, unsuspecting of what they might be hiding "in their kitchen."
And what are these stupid bastards up to anyway?
They serve some wonderful "Babades with rum" with a bit of poison and ...whoever gets the chance. The four million won in The Joker by the father - who has left this vain world - is looking for their heir. Two sons, two daughters-in-law, a bright know-it-all neighbour and a nightmarish nurse talk, argue, plot and sleep soundly while weaving a sweet plan of mutual destruction.
"Babades with Rum" 2024. Who will be left alive to take the fortune? It remains to be seen.
