- A stage production based on “Ismene” by Yannis Ritsos, from his iconic poetic cycle “Fourth Dimension”, featuring Chios-born actress Chrysa Klouva.
The production brings to the forefront the profound poetic quality and timeless power of Yannis Ritsos’ writing, in which ancient myth is transformed into a contemporary human testimony. Voice, music and silence come together to create a unified theatrical landscape that speaks of memory, loss, time and
human resilience.
