Her name is Lydia and she is on her 3rd year at the School of Agriculture at AUTh. She states that she is a theatre lover and that she is in love with dancing, even though she only practices at parties today. She finds it difficult to sit properly on a chair, that is why she almost never gets comfortable. She is crazy about sunsets and crowded concerts, because they both give her a sense of freedom. Regarding the music that she listens to, a look at her playlists is enough to understand that you can’t figure out anything, since you will see preferences from Christophe to Mazonakis, and everything that that entails. However, Ioulia Karapataki and Socratis Malamas are her weaknesses. Ah! She also writes her own material, in the hope that anyone might wake up tomorrow with a totally changed mindset, dreaming about crazy things, utopian for some,realistic for others.

Following that, how much does humor and the comic element ultimately affect our approach to how we perceive everything that…

I look around me; wheels that constantly move on the gray asphalt, to remind us of the never-ending "journey" of time. People are coming and going - who knows where to and how many times they have made this journey. Buses, always with their route marked, pass the same traffic lights, the same stops…

On Fridays we Love: The Villa

On Fridays we Love Issue 3: The Villa (pt.2)

A performance that concerns the audience, makes them review and think: why? Natasa, Lila and Aggeliki “color” the conversation incarnating a special role each one of them. Their common denominator is that they are women.  In continuation of the previous conversation and deepening in it a bit…
