Event description: 

“My Mother’s Sin”, an autobiographical short story written by Georgios Vizyenos in 1883 placed already under the auspices of the General Secretariat of Greeks Abroad - Hellenic Republic Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It’ s a solo performance, World first in English, interpreted by Rena Kyprioti The supervision is under the award-winning director Dimos Avdeliodis.

The music has been composed by the internationally renowned and award-winning composer Nikos Kypourgos. The costume, a special polymorphic artistic design, has been created by Vana Giannoula, an established member of Disney’s costume department. Direction is taken over by the emerging director Danae Roussou, who has been close associate of Dimos Avdeliodis for many years.

This performance is supported by Polyplanity Productions, an independent, nonprofit production company which undertakes large ventures, works of high artistic value, in Greece and internationally. The idea is an initiative by Rena Kyprioti, who had the leading role in the 2013’s Greek version, directed by the award-winning director Dimos Avdeliodis.

The interpreter embodies all the characters; this solo performance aims to communicate Vizyenos’ therapeutic speech abroad. It is an inspiring speech that penetrates the human soul, motivates inner deep feelings, as an inner shift, using the common international language of emotions.

The intention is to come into contact with Theatres, Universities, Foundations, Festivals, Organisations, Institutions, Museums and Archaeological sites in order to communicate the Thracian Spirit, through a modern perspective, while retaining elements of Greek tradition.
