Walks in the city.

We walk quite a lot in our city to exercise, enjoy the views and the weather and save money on bus tickets!
When I don't forget to take my camera with me I take lots of pictures.
A walk in the city centre in April.

And another walk in April at the seafront.

In May  a visit to the Yeni Cami, the new mosque museum in my neighbourhood to see the exhibition of A Balkan Tale where I found out that there live about a hundred tortoises!

In May again a theatrical performance of the Bald Theatre in Kalamaria. I used to be one of the founding members of this drama club in 1984 and in fact I was the only first year student in it then. That's how my experience in theatre started.  Anyway we watched Dickens' A tale of Two Cities. It was good.
Here is the cathedral of Kalamaria, which is a beautiful suburb of my city.

A walk in the city centre in the end of May at Aristotelous Square where an effort to break the world record of an origami picture was being made.

This city has beautiful spots. I just wish it was more walker and biker friendly and cleaner too.

Milk.The Theatre.

This was the third consecutive week that we spent Wednesday at the theatre.
I love the theatre. I  have acted in two drama clubs in the past. First in The Bald Theatre of the English Department of the Aristoteles University of Thessaloniki.When I was a student there I was one of the founding members/look at page 7 on the link and acted in their first play and then in Dithyramvos Ex Amaxis the Teacher's Association Drama Club where I acted for 10 years.
Still we don't go to the theatre that often since tickets are really expensive.
We were lucky we were invited in today's performance of Milk, a play by Vasilis Katsikonouris,a teacher.
It is an amazing play and the four actors and actresses acting were fantastic. The author talks about a family of Russian immigrants, a mother with two grown up boys who settle down in Greece. The younger son has schizophrenia and the play shows the emotions and difficulties that the family encounters as being an immigrant and with the stigma of  a mental illness. I couldn't stop crying during the perforamnce. And I was especially touched by the absolutely talented Demetres Patsis who played the young ill man. Anna Vagena played the mother.It is going to be released as a film,too.
Today an interview I had given about the Teacher's Association Drama club appeared in the online magazine 10top. I know you can't read it since it's in Greek but at least you can see it. It is on issue 2,page 202-207   of the magazine.It is the last one on the contents column.
(I am sorry the links are in Greek apart from the first but I couldn't find anything better).
The photos are from various performances of the Teacher's Association Drama Club.
First,second and third pictures are from The Big Bam where I was playing Claudine.

 The white Persian Cat in The cats' garden.

And in Midsummer Night's Dream where I was playing Elena.

 I have also acted in Denekedoupoli.
