By George Tserdanis

The premiere of the theatrical production “Opou Gis Kai Patris 2” took place on Thursday, February 6, at the Hellenic Art Theatre in Marrickville, Sydney, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.

The theatre production is part of this year’s Greek Festival of Sydney program and will run until Sunday, March 9.

The play, rich in humorous dialogues, compelling interactions, and heartfelt monologues, explores the desires, struggles, and achievements of migrants.

With remarkable performances that received enthusiastic applause, the production captivated the audience from start to finish.

A must-see production:

The play delves into the themes of identity, belonging, and the unbreakable ties to one’s heritage, all brought to life by the talented duo Stamatis Tzelepis and Elena Tsefala from Greece, and accompanied by Greek Australian actors John Daviskas, Lucy Miller and Nicholas Miralis.

The show’s author Konstantinos Kalymnios, along with a dedicated creative team, has crafted a sequel that builds upon the emotional foundation set in the first production, further enhancing the narrative with compelling storylines and unforgettable performances.

Audiences will experience many powerful moments throughout the play, including Tsefala’s expressive narration about Greece’s remarkable history, its heroic and intellectual achievements, and the injustices it has suffered—particularly the countless stolen works of art created by its ancient ancestors, now scattered across foreign lands.

This engaging and humorous production combines historical reflection with lighthearted comedy, making it a must-see for audiences. Following its run in Sydney, the play will also be staged in Melbourne, as part of the events organised by the Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM).
