The Soul-Searching of an immaculate Murderer and a guilty Society from Tuesday, March 22, at Michael Cacoyannis Foundation

THE THEOFILOS TSAFOS APOLOGY of Nikos Koundouros

A masterly written, soul searching, monologue that reveals the auctorial side of, one of the most significant and great Greek directors, Nikos Koundouros.

A play that remained silent for about four decades in the drawer, until the moment of the proper timing that it was placed at the directional mastery of Yota Koundouraki as well as the performing expertise of Nikos Panopoulos, in order to address, eventually, an exceptionally well-timed speech for the consequences of fanaticism on the human soul, to talk about the pattern of ideology power, as well as looks for the really guilty ones of a society which creates and breeds murderers.

The Theofilos Tsafos Apology is a performance that, as the director herself claims, asks for a better future, addresses questions and seeks for justice.

Theofilos Tsafos is the criminal who has been trained to humiliate human existence, making the start from his own being.

He ruins at first his own self, burns into the flames of FANATICISM his heart, thus heartless longs for victims, in order to complete his Secret Mission.

His
hands are being transformed into lethal weapons, strangling the only
woman he loved in his entire life simply as that during love making.

AUTHORITY, well camouflaged behind IDEOLOGY, attends the half-crazy criminal sucking the immolators as well as his victims blood.

Unfortunately,
human beings history has countless blood-stained pages of fanaticism
as well as countless murderers. However, where the real CULPRITS lie?

A play which functions as a scalpel for the murderers soul, as well as the society, which creates murderers.
