Theatrical Performance
“Lies or Truth”
On April 6,we attended the performance “Lies or Truth” at the theater stage ‘Fabrica’
a political tale, performed by the group
“Mind the Gap”
It is called “tale”, because in the past, tales weren’t
aimed at children. It was a way for adults to have fun.
Tales and theater were acting simultaneously
for entertainment and in order to
be told things that weren’t supposed to.
On the other hand, the adjective “political” is being used
due to the fact that contains the words ‘citizen’ and
‘state’ and those represent each and every one of us.
It refers to our own tale and its end, which depends on
us…
The members of the theatrical group
explained that their inspiration for the
show was a phrase in the lyrics of a song
by Alkinoos Ioannidis.
Because of the difficult times
that our country is going through,
this song made clear to us that we run out
of tales, that the Greek society is getting
more and more cruel.
“We wanted to do something
about it, so we decided to
create this performance.
This tale points out the
importance of being
responsible for the things that
we create; the only person that
can change or destroy them is
ourselves. Maybe it was our
need to never forget the
dreams and the passion that
once we had, that led us to
putting on this show…”
The performance "Lies and Truth", was first presented at the
1st Handmade and Recycled Theater Festival
organized by Fabrica Athens and
was awarded the 1st Prize for Best Performance of the Commission
and 1st Prize for Best Performance of the Audience.
It was also presented during the
1st Up The W-All Festival in 2014
and took the 2nd best performance audience award.
