The Performances

The Dream of Old Tarkan
A performance that allow us to take a peek at a wise man’s life and habits, who is buried in his old books. Browsing old yellow pages he encounters hidden surprises which lead him away from space and time…
A performance dedicated to book’s power and magic as well as to the readers who “travel” with them.

To Kadro (The Frame)
In the frame, a figure swims in the dark. The rectangular frame is the borders of her world, until the moment “that something helps her to overcome her fears and discover whatever she lacked”

“Nimajore”
In the small tavern, Stavros playing music and Marilena dancing, relive wonderful moments from the past. Two vivid puppets breathe life into our heart.
