2019-2020 National Theatre of Northern Greece

Who discovered America? - Chrysa Spilioti

Opening: Lazaristes Monastery - Studio Theatre, 18/01/2020

Who discovered America? Lisa and Kaiti grow up together trying, each in her own way, to answer the questions they’re posed at school and by life. For the two heroines, the road to adulthood and maturity is paved with struggles, dreams and frustrations. In the end, they find themselves together again, trying to answer the same question about life with which the play opened (and which is posed by the play’s title): who is the one doing the discovering and what did they find after all that searching?

Chrysa Spilioti’s “Who discovered America?” is an important example of contemporary Greek writing. It is a miniature masterpiece whose utterly real and convincing relationships and characters are drawn with psychological precision. With a light and humorous touch, her heroines succeed in getting down an entire society and generation. The rapid dialogues drawn the audience into a journey that seems to be over in a flash. Just like life itself.
