In January 1801, Ali Pasha ordered seventeen women sewn into sacks and drowned in the lake at Ioannina. Euphrosyne — Kyra-Frosyne — was among them. Molis Koimithi to Kyma is a monologue at Theatro Fournos in Exarchia where one performer, P. Giannioti, becomes Euphrosyne and speaks the life she did not get to finish — her dreams, her memory, her unlived years. Four singers from the vocal group Polyphoniko Kafeneio accompany her with Epirote polyphonic songs, the tradition of the region where the drowning happened.
If you want spectacle and a large cast, this is a single voice in a sixty-minute room. But if you want regional history delivered through the body of one performer with polyphonic singing that predates the story it carries, Fournos is the right scale.
Theatro Fournos is at Mavromichali 168 in Exarchia. Curtain at 21:00. Tickets €15–€17. Sixty minutes, no interval.
A voice, four singers, and two hundred years of silence between them.
