SUMMARY:"Intolerance" by Io Voulgaraki
DESCRIPTION:"Intolerance"\, is the monumental three-hour\, episodic silent film by D.W. Griffith\, which many consider the artistic equal of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and the masterpieces of Michelangelo.\n\nMade in 1916\, the film examines intolerance—national\, political\, religious and social—through four stories which span the centuries from the fall of ancient Babylon to the Crucifixion of Christ and from the Saint Bartholomew’s Day massacre to the class struggle of the early 20th century. Its conclusion: intolerance is an incurable human pathology.\n\n“Human coexistence on Earth is conveyed as ongoing civil strife”\, notes Io Voulgaraki\, a creator of supremely atmospheric\, fiercely passionate spectacles with tragi-comic tones. For her "Intolerance"\, due to be presented at the Onassis Cultural Centre\, Voulgaraki stages only the last of the film’s four sections\, in which an innocent man is condemned for a crime he did not commit. Set against the puritanism and unbridled capitalism of the US in 1914–15\, the production uses a contemporary theatrical idiom to compose a silent music-theatre epic which tackles the issue of ‘intolerance versus solidarity’.\n\nA cast of ten and a quartet playing original music by Thodoris Abazis join her in this keenly-awaited spectacle which—promising political\, social and existential self-knowledge—poses the question: "Us" or "them" forever. But why "forever"?\n\nDirection: Io Voulgaraki\nSet-Costume Design: Anna Fedorova\nMusic: Thodoris Abazis\nMovement: Stavroula Siamou\nLighting: Alekos Anastasiou\nVideo: Nikos Pastras\nMake up design: Evi Zafiropoulou\nScientific collaborator: Nikitas Siniosoglou\nJournalistic Research: Kiriakos Argiropoulos\nAssistant to the Director: Amalia Kavali\nAssistant to the Set Designer:Margarita Chatzioannou\nSet Construction: LAZARIDIS SCENIC STUDIO\nWith: Giorgos Gallos\, Dimitris Georgiadis\, Stelios Iakovidis\, Despina Kourti\, Alexandros Logothetis\, Argyris Xafis\, Sokratis Patsikas\, Evi Saoulidou\, Natalia Tsaliki\, Nikos Chatzopoulos\nMusicians: Maria Deli\, Thodoris Kotepanos\, Fotis Papantoniou\, Dimitris Chountis\nProduced by: Onassis Cultural Centre\nLine Production Managment: Lyssis\n\nPARALLEL EVENTS\n\nOn Friday\, January 20th after the performance Io Voulgaraki will talk about the performance.\nEvent chaired by Grigoris Ioannidis\, theatre critic and assistant professor of Drama Studies\, University of Athens.\nSunday\, January\, 24 & 31\nTheatre workshop by Io Voulgaraki\n\nSOURCE: Onassis Cultural Centre\nPHOTO: © Thanassis Krikis
