Feb 9 & March 1: Agapi & Other Kinds Of Love by Luka Lesson

The Ancient Greek types of love are revealed via timeless love stories told in rap and spoken word with live musicians. Based on Plato’s Symposium, Luka Lesson’s Agapi & Other Kinds of Love begins with Socrates telling his friends everything he learned from the mysterious Diotima.

The gods then guide us through time and space to arrive in modern Athens, where reincarnations of ancient lovers fall in love (again) amidst a riot. We visit different kinds of love before reaching the ultimate: Agapi.

Self-love, erotic love and more collide with statues of Aphrodite, Molotov cocktails and the Parthenon’s steps.

Equal parts rap concert, poetic musical & classical history lesson, this production shows us how love prevails despite everything throughout the ages.

  • Where: Riverside Theatres, Corner Church and Market Streets, Parramatta NSW 2150.
  • Dates and times: 29th Feb 7pm –8:20pm & 1 March 7pm –8:20pm.

March 1, 2 & 3: Opou GIS kai ‘PATRIS’

‘Opou GIS kai PATRIS’ – a Theatrical Marvel by Konstantinos Kalymnios, Direct from Greece with Limited 4-Show Engagement.

A theatrical comedy, Opou GIS kai PATRIS’ written by the esteemed lawyer and author Konstantinos Kalymnios. This engaging production will be staged at the Greek Theatre – Mandouridion in Marrickville, featuring the talented duo Stamatis Tzelepis and Elena Tsefala, for only four performances between 1st and 3rd of March 2024.

This thought-provoking play delves into the essence of the first generation of immigrants, exploring the gradual fading of their unique way of life over time. Konstantinos Kalymnios, the playwright, was inspired by the disappearing customs and behavioral codes of those who laid the foundations of the Greek community. The story is a heartfelt attempt to preserve the distinctive dialect and traditions of his grandparents’ micro-community in Essendon, Moonee Ponds, and Ascot Vale in Victoria.

The play features the Epirotic dialect, with elements from various parts of Greece, providing a rich linguistic and cultural experience for the audience.

The performance is not only a portrayal of the migrant experience but also includes segments commenting on the current situation in Greece from various perspectives—historical and beyond. In essence, ‘Opou GIS kai PATRIS’ is a historical retrospective, exploring common points that define us throughout time and, of course, offering a generous dose of humor.

The show will be performed in Greek with English surtitles.

  • Where: The Greek Theatre – Mantouridion, Building 36, 142 Addison Road, Marrickville.
