"The Awakening" is the story of self-deception of a looser of life, who the others make him believe that he is a great opera singer. But not only this. It is also the chronicle of the awakening from this delusion it is an abrupt fall on a hard ground. The play takes place in Thessaloniki in the years of the Middle-war. The shadows of diachronic characters circulate and conflict with the illusion and reality in an atmosphere of ritual hallucination. "The Awakening" is a journey into dream, reality and imagination. (The director Giannis Iordanidis)
