                          Hey, you!: five one-act plays by Takis Chryssoulis at Elyze Theatre

                          Direction: Costas Baras, Yannis Mortzos, Zacharias Rochas, Varvara Douka, Michalis AchouriotisStage settings-costumes: Anna Mahairianaki

                          One of the most ingenious proposals for this year's theatre season is Takis Chryssouli's play Hey, you!, presented at Athens' Elyze Theatre, from October 15 till the end of the season, which comes to show a new way of performing a play. The performance consists of five one-act plays, all written by Chryssoulis; each one of them corresponds with another letter of the alphabet. This is not the only element of the performance that makes it so original: each one-act play is directed by a different director; they are Costas Baras, Yannis Mortzos, Zacharias Rochas, Varvara Douka and Michalis Achouriotis.

                          All the heroes present their own -supposedly different- aspect of reality, but in the long run what they do present is aspect of our reality. The performance has also a second level, one that has to do with language. Takis Chryssoulis presents with these five one-act plays a game, both interesting and humorous, with language, since each one-act play has dialogues with words beginning all with the same letter! How is this possible? There is only one way to find out: go and watch the performance!
