Two Onassis Stegi productions at the 57th Dimitria Festival

A dive into the depths of an artistic genius. Yanoulis Halepas, that ascetic figure of Greek sculpture – whom some called “the Rodin of Greece”, others “a saint, a madman, a genius, an artist cursed” – encounters the gaze of Argyro Chioti and the written word of The Boy. A contemporary musical tragedy that walks us down the sculptor’s path, between silence and the absurd, inaction and creation.

The performance is to be presented with English surtitles.

RootlessRoot worked with the English sculptor Peter Randall-Page to create “Stones & Bones”. White marble – a material with metaphysical dimensions that constitutes the bedrock of European civilization – lies at the core of the work, even though its natural place lies inside majestic mountains, far outside theater convention. Four female performers – dancing to an original score by Vassilis Mantzoukis – carve out this poem of a performance.
