“BAAAH” A Variety Show
A desperate cry of desperation, a cry of “BAAAH!!!” which expresses the peoples emotion in its music and dance tradition. A show of variety, of music, songs and acts from a world that is fading and a world being born into the swamp-waters of the crisis but into the light of possibility that we will survive and come out of it singing. The eccentric trio which rocked last year is back and has set the bar even higher aided by the spirit of Lampros Kostantaras, Taygeti and Sapfo Notara.
With invocations of ten leftist priests and of the Pope of Rome himself and in cooperation with great artists of the local and international scene, apart from Mr. Kraounakis, Mr. Aris Vlachos and the outstanding artist workers of Speira, many important people of the arts world and people in the public eye will provide their assistance each evening, without first identifying themselves.
Please inform the people of our country, that we will again, this year, be residing at the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, every Thursday at 20.00, Fridays and Saturdays at 21:00 and we shall shout “BAAAH” at anybody who tries to slaughter us.
