«MARGARITA FOREVER» A PERFORMANCE BASED ON THE STORY BY DIMITRIS CHATZIS «MARGARITA PERDIKARI» - TOK Theatre - New Stage «Nikos Charalambous» - Cyprus Theatre Organisation

In a small provincial town in Greece, withering under the weight of German occupation, burdened by decay and lawlessness, young Margarita Perdikari lives between closing walls. Her house, occupied by memories and shadows of a family that did not protect her, becomes at once refuge and prison. Two worlds surround her: the dysfunctional reality of family relationships and the promise of another, hopeful path, born through the gaze of friends and the wind of change. In the unseen border where History passes silently, Margarita finds the strength to stand upright and choose her own path of resistance.

A new text, based on the short story «Margarita Perdikari» by Dimitris Chatzis from the collection The End of Our Little Town, comes to life on stage at the Cyprus Theatre Organisation on the occasion of the 80 years since the end of World War II. The work, first published in 1953, speaks in a disarming language, full of vivid images and sharply drawn characters, drawing inspiration from real people and the author's personal experiences.

The transition from the experience of reading to a collective viewing experience in Secondary Education school classrooms is undertaken by Elena Pavlidou and Nikoletta Verykiou, whose previous work shows their love for literary heroes. With the absolutely essential stage objects in their «suitcase», they transform the narrative course of young Margarita into a dense dramatic composition that meets their personal, contemporary gaze. Their approach revitalises both the historical and existential substratum of the work, inviting us on a journey of search, awakening, self-knowledge and freedom.
