Description

The music theatre performance Uncrafted Song: Alexandros Papadiamantis Among Us aims to highlight the timelessness of Papadiamantis’ work through a combination of both the phlegmatic and scholarly qualities of his language, showcasing its lasting relevance across different generations of Greeks—past, present, and future. The performance features orchestral and set poems by Alexandros Papadiamantis, Ilias Katsoulis, and Thomas Korovinis, texts by Alexandros Papadiamantis and Andreas Embiricos, as well as excerpts from Thomas Korovinis’ novel To angelokrousma –The last night of Mr Alexandros, accompanied by original musical compositions by Andreas Katsigiannis.
