"THEATRON"
|
|
The breadwinner on the roof
|
|
"The Breadwinner on the roof" –which was characterized as "the performance of the year" by the mass media– with Lakis Lazopoulos and Chrisa Ropa returns to the stage of “THEATRON” for a limited number of performances. From Thursday 10 December 2009, the "hero of our heart", who does not relax, comes to talk about his experiences, the life that pass him over. Armed with his well known humor, he criticises contemporary Greek reality and unfolds his dreams, as he narrates a realistic, humane and deeply sarcastic story. The music is by Stamatis Kraounakis, while the two leading characters are accompanied by a group of excellent actors and associates.
