“Of Course I Dream”
Seven young actors are having a conversation with the poems of Kiki Dimoula
Of course I dream,
Can anyone live with just a salary?
How often?
Every since anyone is quitting.
Do our dreams have an effect on those who are missing?
Of course. They are thinking about it again.
Perhaps, all are regretful.
Is there any free admission?
Not at all. I ask for dream’s permission.
Before hoping. And generally, I am allowed to enter
with some strict instructions.
…………………………………………..
One thing cannot be provided by the dream.
The limit. Till Ill feel the danger.
There is no dream in danger.
There is only ageing.
Inspiration and dreams about the future during harsh times, when we are all in the quest of finding our ways. A different look at the poems of Kiki Dimoula. Poems that are driving seven professional young actors to a theatrical performance with her line as a title: “Of Course I Dream”. The performance is the outcome of a three-month seminar on “Poetry and Theatre” by Pemy Zouni and Frosso Korrou.
Three months of studying poetry. Three months full of dreams and quests demanding answers. A theatrical performance declaring that Dimoula’s poetry is always in an open conversation with all ages. Young artists are listening carefully to her words, lines and ideas and they are turning those elements into images that are dedicated to the great poetess.
The seminar and the performance are based on the following topics: How the poetic speech of Dimoula inspires young people? How her words are transforming through the theatrical process? The bodies, the sounds, the music. The silence. Time, loss, loneliness. Memory. The young actors are trying to find their way through Dimoula’s humor, sarcasm, hope and light.
