The Curtain of the Earth

Description

The IONIA Orchestra and Chorus of Nea Ionia, Volos present the music theatre performance The Curtain of the Earth, based on original texts by Regina Kapetanaki, co-creator of the legendary children’s radio show Edo Lilipoupoli. It is an original performance combining Karagiozis, shadow puppet theatre and traditional music with the modern visual technology of videos and 3D projections, while commenting in a contemporary manner on Nature and climate change. Takis Vamvakidis in the role of Karagiozis will be narrating and commenting while transforming himself into different characters – from a shadow puppet to an actor on a real stage and then to a digital animator on a video wall – holding the audience’s attention. Greek songs, which are a vital part of the show, will be performed by the IONIA Orchestra and Chorus and acclaimed singer Thodoris Kotonias.
