Akrivoula mou

The Castle of Skiathos hosts the theatre performance Akrivoula mou on 7 and 8 August 2026, as part of All of Greece, One Culture 2026.

“[…] and no one sees them anymore, except those who were pure in the old days, and the ones who are touched by the unseen in our own time.”

Two women—one mature and the other very young (or perhaps they are the same person?)—find themselves on a high, almost inaccessible place, or somewhere at the edge of the sea. Among a number of handmade small lanterns, they tend their flames and tell a story until dawn arrives. It is Akrivoula, nine years old, and the story of her small death, there at the crossing. Around her, other figures emerge: humble little lights, stories of a lost innocence, forms like the sea flowers and sand dunes that shone for a moment and then disappeared, carried away by the waves. And among them stands the comforting presence of Alexandros Papadiamantis.
