The work was written in 1816 and is a Greek adaptation of Moliere’s “Filargyros” which focuses on social problems with his time. Its idiomatic language, the comedian conditions, in addition to the consultant characters of the time through which the play unfolds, give it a particular place within the trendy Greek dramaturgy.
The premiere of the challenge happened on Friday, Could 24, 2024 on the “Ichthyoskala” Cultural Middle. The Chariot of Thespidos will proceed its theatrical run within the wider area of Southwest Greece in collaboration with PED.
Case:
In Smyrna within the nineteenth century, Exindavelonis is taken into account the richest and, on the identical time, probably the most merciless miser within the area. Though he owns a big fortune, his kids and servants reside in excessive poverty.

Director’s be aware
The director of the present, Christos Strepkos, says characteristically: “Exindavelonis (1816) by Konstantinos Oikonomos (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 spotlight the need for social justice.
The motion of the play has been transferred to Smyrna within the nineteenth century and the faces are recognizable characters of the time who communicate the “spoken language of ours” and absolutely 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 power that decided the route of the play. So, with choreographer Camilo Bentancor and set designer Kenny MacLellan by my facet, we determined to current a “bouquet” present for the viewers.
On a slender 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 people comedy. It’s, in different phrases, a “bouquet” that corresponds to the distinctive writing of Konstantinos Oikonomou and manages to maneuver us, passing on timeless social messages, even at present, following so a few years”.
