Come, pull off the roof so I can fly away…
Description
Manolis Mitsias invited the acclaimed Greek actress Karyofyllia Karabeti to join him in performing songs that reflect and inspire our collective memory, both in good times and during today’s dystopian era. This is a heartfelt tribute to poets who have contributed their verses to songs, taking us on a musical journey through the history and culture of modern Greece.
Unsurpassable Manolis Mitsias takes the stage alongside Karyofyllia Karabeti, who recites poetry and sings live for the first time. The performance features songs with lyrics by Nikos Gatsos, Odysseas Elytis, George Seferis, Yannis Ritsos, Manos Eleftheriou, and Lefteris Papadopoulos – all of them renowned poets who set the standards for exceptional Greek songs.
The production “Come, pull off the roof so I can fly away…” took place on 25 and 26 August 2025 at the Old Fortress of Corfu.
The filming of the production took place as part of the Project “Sub 3.29 Platform for managing cultural events in archaeological sites and museums”, which is included in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0” and is funded by the NextGenerationEU plan.
