Performances

Opening night will feature "Life as a work of art", a performance by the National Theatre of Northern Greece based on texts by the Russian writer Daniil Kharms. A dramatized narrative based on the life of the great Russian writer, Daniil Kharms, about whom the poet Alexander Vvedensky wrote: "Kharms did not make art, he was art". Three NTNG actors will perform snapshots from Kharms’ life, as he recorded them in his Blue Notebook. The performance is directed by Thanos Feretzelis. The salient features of Kharms’ work are the search for the unattainable, black humour, a mischievous style, recording the absurdity of every era, and the futility of existence.
