170 τετραγωνικά / Moonwalk

The lights find two sisters in the house where they grew up. Their father is dead. The 170 square meters of the title is the apartment, and neither woman has set foot in it for years. Giorgis Tsouris wrote 170 Tetragonika (Moonwalk) and performs in it — now in its seventh consecutive season, with over 450 performances and the Dimitris Horn Award for best new Greek play.

The production, directed by Giorgos Palumpis, has drawn more than 120,000 audience members across Greece and toured to Melbourne. It moves this spring to Neos Akadimos.

The room fills with people who recognize Greek family architecture — the unspoken rules, the inherited furniture, the arguments that resume mid-sentence after a decade.

If you want escapism, this play walks you back into the rooms you left. But if you want Greek drama that earns its silences, Tsouris writes and acts with equal precision.

Neos Akadimos is at Ippokratous 17, accessible by metro. 17 April 2026 at 21:00. Tickets through more.com.

Seven years, 450 performances — and the apartment still has not been cleared out.
