Project Bacchae

Yesterday evening we went to Alaca Imaret and attended Project Bacchae, a theatrical performance with Andreas Konstantinou, hubby's Godson.
It was an excellent solo performance on the work of Euripides Bacchae, a heartbreaking tragedy.
It will be on till Sunday for my local followers if you are interested to watch it.

Here's a link about it with critique on the play.

Andreas Konstantinou is the protagonist of Mikra Anglia that I talked of in this blogpost.

A painting exhibition

One more exhibition hubby and I went to some time ago was at Alaca Imaret,(=the colourful poorhouse).

It was an exhibition of icon paintings related to the liberation of Thessaloniki 100 years ago.

 Among the other artists was Konstantinos Kougioumtzis who is a fellow shadow puppeteer and iconography artist in Drama.
We loved his works of Art.

 Especially Karaghiozis as a soldier of the war in Macedonia.

 There was also a lovely shadow puppet.

Alaca Imaret is so beautiful inside as well.

If you want to see more of Konstantinos' work you can visit his current exhibition in Drama.
