The Theatrical Group “Thermoskopio” of the Association of Kefallen in Patras, presents – in a pan-Hellenic first – on Friday, September 20 at 9:00 in the evening at the Old Slaughterhouses, as part of the Amateur Theater Festival section, Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s play, “Matriona’s House” .
The play is a free theatrical adaptation of the short story of the same name, by the philologist Andromachi Giannopoulou and directed by Christos Bayraktari.
Solzhenitsyn in the three novellas contained in the work delves into the characters of his people with infinite love, even when he wears the mask of sympathetic irony. His compassion for the world of the humble and the oppressed, his love for justice and freedom, sometimes timid, sometimes open, and the purely aesthetic virtues, obvious at first glance, give Solzhenitsyn’s work a leading position in the literature of the century us.
