Moussaka

A Sunday family lunch featuring Greek flavours that have endured over the years sparks stories about traditional dishes and their contemporary perception. As different generations meet and interact, we become aware of how our culinary traditions, as well as life itself, have changed. Moussaka, pies, dolmadakia, and the spices of the famous Constantinopolitan cuisine evoke stories of our grandmothers, while bobota, also known as the pie of the poor, transports us back to the challenging period of the Occupation and the Greek people’s struggle to survive. Traditional melodies intertwined with the bustling sounds of frying pans and boiling pots, along with stories about people and recipes we’ve all tried, create a performance that pays tribute to the meals that raised us.
