A performance that unravels the story of two remarkable individuals who were ahead of their time, during the turbulent Interwar period, both in terms of social conventions and the prevailing trends of their generation.
Fragments from their poems and prose, along with confessions drawn from their letters and diaries, are interwoven with musical settings of their poetry as interpreted and composed by artists such as St. Gyftakis, L. Thanos, N. Mavroudis, D. Papadimitriou, L. Platonos, K. Tsoupaki, and others.
Following its warm reception and strong audience response, the production returns for a second consecutive year in collaboration with the Women's Association of Mikromani, "Maria Polydouri."
