O thanatos enos ithopoiou is a theater production at PLYFA in Votanikos, Athens, premiering 16 April 2026 and running through 30 April. You enter a converted factory at Koritsas 39 — the former Athens Knitting-Weaving Works — and Chekhov's civil servant resurfaces as an actor dying by a different mechanism.
Dulcinea Compania, directed by An.-M. Iakovnou and K. Chatzigeorgiou, adapts Chekhov's short story "The Death of a Civil Servant" and weaves in two more — "The Pianist" and "In the Cemetery." The transposition from clerk to actor sharpens the original question: does a person expire when their value depends entirely on who is watching?
If you want polished production values and a proscenium frame, PLYFA is a raw industrial space where audience and performers share the same room. If you want Chekhov stripped to framework, the factory walls do half the work.
Tickets EUR 14, reduced EUR 10. PLYFA is at Koritsas 39, Votanikos.
Chekhov wrote the civil servant's death in three pages. This company needs seventy minutes and a factory floor.
