The Creative Drama & Arts Centre of the Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM) presents, for the second time, the theatre and music performance «ΕΙΚΟΣΙ ΔΥΟ» (‘TWENTY TWO’).
It focuses on 1922, a year that constituted a historic landmark in Greeks’ collective consciousness from the tremendous effects of the Asia Minor Catastrophe and the Turkish-Greek War.
Sorrow songs, refugee testimonies, and extracts from two books and a play will take the audience on a journey from the peaceful Greek Asian Minor homes and shops in the early 1920s to an Athenian refugee shack in the mid-1950s.
‘TWENTY TWO’ by Melbourne-based director Jeremy Artis premiered in December 2022.
The second performance which is in Greek with English live-captions has since been enriched with additional acts and performers including the well-known Greek Australian actor Antonios Baxevanidis.
