The event opened with an interactive presentation and drama game titled “Theatre Memory: Storytelling Through Dramatic Play”, led by Eleni Triantafyllou (actor and drama facilitator) and Adrianos Psychas (archaeologist). Through embodied exercises and audience participation we explored theatrical storytelling as a means of memory and expression. Participants had the chance to approach theatre not only as an art form but also as a way of reflection.
Afterwards the play “Until the Darkness Falls” was performed by Aristogeiton Pananos (Michalis) and Giannis Rousos (Chronis). In the piece, two friends meet in a courtyard “with very beautiful flowers and a few trees that many would envy” and confront life’s great dilemmas. As day yields to night, time becomes a countdown and every moment acquires weight and meaning. A moving story about friendship, choice and deep human agony, just before “the darkness falls.”
