Week of Cypriot Theatre Play in Athens

Artemis and Achilleas Ververi are a sister and a brother who are being raised up by their father since their mother had deserted them in early childhood. Artemis, being the eldest, decides to provide everything for her younger brother, so he will not lack anything, especially in the aspects of love and warmth. In a rainy winter night, a “stranger” visits them and announces that their mother has passed away. The balances between truth and lying, sanity and insanity, morality and necessity, things that “should” and things that “should not”, take a curious diversion in destined and mindful situations.
