Summertime

The theatrical performance "Summertime", by Yannis Skourletis, is part of the Ministry of Culture’s “All of Greece, One Culture 2023" programme, which this year is dedicated to the environment.

Description

In the new production "summertime", the bijoux de kant team chooses poetic language to speak about the issue of climate change, about everything that the body's senses have long been aware of while the mind is slow.

A young guide. A provincial radio producer. A strange encounter at the mercy of a permanent, unrelenting summer in the ruins of an archaeological site under a poisonous sun. He waits for winter to cool off. She longs for November to come so she can live the love of her life under the rain. As autumn becomes narrative and summer raises pulses, the return of the old succession of seasons as we knew it becomes the new utopia. A vain expectation. Lost in their conversations, Teresa and Chronis suspect that their need for coolness and rain will probably not be satisfied and they timidly begin the first steps of realization.
