Director’s be aware
Because the director of the present, Christos Strepkos, states: “Exindavelonis (1816) by Konstantinos Oikonomos (1780-1857) is the Greek rendition 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 motion of the play has been transferred to Smyrna within the nineteenth century and the faces are recognizable characters of the time who converse the “spoken language of ours” and absolutely symbolize the morals and attitudes of the society at the moment. A few of these individuals, in truth, 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 path of the play.

On a slender stage, the 5 distinctive actors of “Chariot” carry to life the story of the cruelest miser of Smyrna, utilizing several types of theater: Commedia dell’ arte, psychological and bodily theater, theatrical gags, but additionally pure people comedy.
