“The Invisible Olga” is the title of the new production of the theater group of the OTE Patras-Achaia Employees’ Cultural Center, which is staged at the Agora theater directed by Elias Anastasopoulos on the occasion of International Women’s Day on March 8, 9 and 10.
The director says regarding the project: “The text by Yiannis Tsiros is based on real stories. The words of the play are as spoken in the courtrooms. Trafficking is a subject that is difficult to approach. You don’t recognize the Invisible Olga, she may live next to us quietly and isolated, so she can hardly be helped. The work exposes the harsh and inhumane reality of a network so well organized that it can hardly be beaten.”

Today, at pelop.gr the actors of the show speak and give their opinions regarding such an important and burning issue as trafficking, but also how they and the show approach it.
Natasa Sardeli: “Maybe we can put a stone together to eliminate such incidents”
“The Invisible Olga! Or is it finally visible? The issue is how we want to see it… Do we have a responsibility as a society? If it was our child in her position? Who supports such circuits? Do we empathize or turn our backs? Giannis Tsiros wants to awaken us to many and other such questions without judging or directing the reader and by extension the viewer. Our director Elias Anastasopoulos as well as the whole team that worked on this project, embraced OLGA. We hope you do too. Maybe we can put a stone together to eliminate such incidents”.
Niki Karavoulias: “Many times in the hope of searching for a better life they fall into a trap…”
“Violence in all its forms is a fact that all people face every day in their lives, and women more so. Many times in the hope of searching for a better life they fall into a trap, which leads to a deeper pit, without any hope of escape. This is how our heroine’s story is…
Spyridoula Georgiou: “Human trafficking is a current problem”
“A rose for women’s day… nothing else is needed because the problems are solved! And yet, there are still women who are objects of purchase and sale. Not far from us… next to us. And there are so many of them! The P.K.E. OTE Patras Achaias chose this day to present “Invisible Olga” by G. Tsiros, a play that refers to the problem of trafficking in women. Human trafficking is a problem today. A problem for which our society is not uninvolved!”.
Kimonas Tassopoulos: “An anthem for women”
“An anthem work for the woman who tries to find the right in many situations”.
Giorgos Tsapalos: “We have to worry”
“In “Invisible Olga” dark paths and issues of a human exploitation mechanism are presented, without moral inhibitions and barriers… We must reflect and immediately gain visibility into corresponding issues that also govern other aspects of our lives.”
Andreas Tassopoulos: “A realistic project punched many in the stomach!”
“Invisible Olga is a realistic work punching many in the stomach! The dream of Eastern Bloc girls for a better life is becoming a nightmare at the hands of the flesh traders.”
Spyros Lambropoulos: “A work as hard as it is true that is played quietly”
“The invisible Olga is a work as hard as it is real that is being played quietly, maybe somewhere close to us without us knowing it. It deals with the harsh reality of trafficking and human trafficking. The nightmare of the young defenseless Olga unfolds before the viewer’s eyes and falls like an ax, as Kafka said, into the frozen sea of his soul.”
Giorgos K. Grammatikas: “Emotions are intense and strong”
“”Invisible Olga”: a punch-in-the-stomach play regarding human exploitation and human violence. It’s happening next door, but society blows the whistle indifferently. Emotions are strong and powerful: frustration and anger, resentment disgust and mental exhaustion. The success of “Invisible Olga” is due to the writer Yiannis Tsiros, the guidance of the director Ilias Anastasopoulos, but also to the perfect cooperation of the actors”.
- At the premiere of the show, the psychologist at the medical-pedagogical center of the Karamandan Children’s Hospital Sofia Psarra will speak.
