The Chariot of Thespids of the Municipal Regional Theater of Patras presents Exindaveloni by Konstantinos Oikonomos, some of the essential works of the fashionable Greek Enlightenment. The play was written in 1816 and is a Greek adaptation of Moliere’s Philanthropy that focuses on social problems with his time. Its idiomatic language, the comedian conditions, in addition to the consultant characters of the time by which the play unfolds, give it a particular place within the trendy Greek dramaturgy.
The play premiered on Friday, Could 24, 2024 on the “Ichthyoskala” Cultural Heart, and can proceed its theatrical run within the wider area of Southwest Greece in collaboration with the PED.

Nevertheless, his servant, laid low with his inhuman miserliness, decides to take revenge on him. With the sudden alliance of his son Exindaveloni, he hatches a darkish plan that may give a simply resolution to his relentless avarice and overthrow the plans of his wild avarice.
Within the play, Exindavelonis represents the primordial avarice and selfishness, traits that distinguish the individuals of each period. It’s an clever satire that’s notably vital of the society of its time, highlighting the necessity for social justice.

Director’s be aware
Exindavelonis (1816) by Konstantinos Oikonomou (1780-1857) is the Greek rendering of Moliere’s Filargyros, tailored to the pre-revolutionary morals and pursuits of the Greek Enlightenment. The Economist makes use of Moliere’s social criticism to decry the avarice and anti-spiritual fanaticism of the protagonist, but additionally to focus on the need for social justice. The mission motion has been moved
in Smyrna within the nineteenth century and the faces are recognizable characters of the time who converse “our spoken language” and totally symbolize the morals and attitudes of the society at the moment. A few of these individuals, the truth is, use idioms to emphasise their illiteracy. The “spartan” dialogues, the recognizable characters of the time and the comedian episodes, give the play its personal uniqueness, which was the driving drive that decided the path of the play. So, with choreographer Camilo Bentancor and set designer Kenny MacLellan by my aspect, we determined to current a “bouquet” present for the viewers. On a slim stage, the 5 distinctive actors of “Chariot” carry to life the story of the cruelest miser of Smyrna, utilizing various kinds of theater: Commedia dell’ arte, psychological and bodily theater, theatrical gags, but additionally pure folks comedy. It’s, in different phrases, a “bouquet” that corresponds to the distinctive writing of Konstantinos Oikonomos and manages to maneuver us, passing on timeless social messages, even right now, following so a few years.
