Onassis Stegi in Athens Pride Week 2020 with "Tom in Greece" (Tom à la ferme) by Michel Marc Bouchard
Onassis Stegi steps up once more for this year’s Athens Pride Week (4-12 September 2020) and participates with the digital premiere of the play "Tom in Greece" (Tom à la ferme, 2011) by Michel Marc Bouchard.
Michel Marc Bouchard notes “Homosexuals learn to lie before they learn to love”. The rising young director, Sarantos Georgios Zervoulakos, draws us into a tragicomedy of unveiled lies, repression, and violence amidst the backdrop of today’s Greece.
How does it feel to lose your work and life partner? How does one’s life change when they spend time with the family of the lost loved one? How can one handle mourning, loss and keep the secrets hidden in a closed community? And finally, how many secrets can one keep inside in the name of love? The talented, much-discussed director, Sarantos Georgios Zervoulakos, on his first collaboration with Onassis Stegi, brought Michel Marc’s Bouchard’s acclaimed “Tom à la ferme” on the Upper Stage of Onassis Stegi on December 2019, in an adaptation inspired by the realities of contemporary GreeceCredits:
