801.5m @ Tsini Karesi (Academia 3)

The show (produced by DI.PE.THE. Ioannina) was presented in 2023 in Ioannina, while its staging in Athens is a collaboration between Tseni Karezis Theater and DI.PE.THE. Ioannina. The script of the show is a product of fiction, while it is also based on real documents. It was February 6, 2015, when Vangelis Giakoumakis was forced to die. We don’t know what he was thinking, or what he wanted to say, but we can only offer explanations. What we do know is that he was found 800 meters from his school, and traveled another 1.5 meters before disappearing forever. The theater offers this magical space – 801.5 square meters – where we are allowed to make assumptions. The show premieres May 20 at 9 p.m.
