Description
The youth-oriented novel When the Statues Went Away by Angeliki Darlasi, adapted for the stage by the author herself and directed by Christos Christopoulos, has been turned into a special performance designed for children aged 6 to 11 years.
Once there was a girl who had heard statues singing. She had danced with them in the moonlight. She had seen them shedding tears. Because statues come alive at night. Angelina was well aware of that, as she grew up in a museum. Tiko and the statues were her best friends. When Mussolini declared war against Greece, the fear that the darkness of Nazism would prevail grew even stronger. And all those involved in the museum, from archaeologists to plain workers, all of them shared a common anxiety. They all protected the same secret, which seemed to be summarized in just one phrase: “We must make haste…”. Angelina will want to learn that secret and help her friend, Tiko, hide his own.
