Η ΔΕΣΠΟΙΝΑ ΖΑΧΑΡΟΠΟΥΛΟΥ ΣΥΜΜΕΤΕΧΗ ΣΤΗΝ ΠΑΡΑΣΤΑΣΗ «Η ΚΕΝΤΑ»

Πείρα(γ)μα presents, for six performances, the play by Nikos Kyriakidis “I Kenta.”

A death, an interrogation, a delirium.

One actor, one musician, and one puppeteer will remain on stage for two hours, using minimal scenic means, aiming to foreground the author’s text and the multiple temporalities into which it leads us.

The composition of the performance emerged from a creative dialogue among four members of the Πείρα(γ)μα group, coming from different artistic fields: Dr. Despoina Zaharopoulou, from visual arts and performance art; musician and PhD candidate Eleni Baili; actor Giannis Karounis; and puppeteer Sofia Sarri. This dialogue resulted in a process of research and practice focused on the equal activation of all the actor’s expressive tools- body, voice, movement, speech, and gaze—through a holistic approach to their stage presence.
