Stories of Women of the Greek Folk Song

Coproduced by the NTNG and the Municipal Regional Theatre of Serres
A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE PLAY
Giorgos Andreou and Odysseas Ioannou create a work of music-theatre dedicated to the women of Greek Folk Song, the heroines of the stage and of life who, with their art and their faith in miracles, have been elevated to the status of heroines of Greek Culture. Their voices have left their mark on Hellenism through the ages. The songs they performed and the lives they lived comprise a valuable testament and spiritual legacy.
Andreou and Ioannou’s work relates to the period between 1920 and 1960. Forty years that shaped the Greek Folk Song in all its variations: Smyrneiko, Rebetiko, Laiko. Forty years of masterpieces accompanying Hellenism’s triumphs and catastrophes. Forty exciting, stirring, unforgettable years.
