Blunted - Δήμητρες και Περσεφόνες

A mother and daughter meet in a house full of ghosts — a dead father, a racist brother, the phantom of a normal family. Sofianna Theofanou's BLUNTED filters Demeter and Persephone through a middle-class Greek living room where love and denial share the same chair.

Theofanou trained at the Karolos Koun School of Drama and spent twelve years with the National Theatre. She holds the State Award for children's theatrical work. Maria Xanthopoulidou directs.

The seats fill with people who know family reunions are negotiations without a ceasefire.

The Persephone myth provides the frame: a separation never completed, a mother who cannot release, a daughter who cannot return on her own terms. Theofanou writes both women with equal weight.

If you want mythology at a comfortable distance, this play puts it in the kitchen. But if you want a new Greek text that earns its source material, the writing is precise.

Kamiros is at Ithakis 32. 17 April 2026 at 21:00. Tickets through more.com.

Two women, one myth, a living room that holds what neither can say aloud.
