Ο θησαυρός του Μίκη

Περιγραφή στα Αγγλικά

O Thisavros tou Miki is a children's musical performance at the Megaron Mousikis Athinon in Ampelokipoi, running Sundays at 15:00 through April 5, 2026. Three actor-musicians walk onto a stage scattered with projected photographs, handwritten scores, and personal objects from an archive that sat locked for decades.

The performance marks the centenary of Mikis Theodorakis — composer of Zorba's Dance, the Mauthausen cycle, the Canto General, and scores that became the soundtrack of Greek political resistance. In 1997 Theodorakis entrusted his personal archive to the Megaron's Lilian Voudouri Music Library: diaries, letters, photographs, original manuscripts. Viky Pano's production opens that archive to children for the first time, with music direction by Maro Theodorakis, the composer's own daughter. Marianna Papathanasiou, Aris Delagrammatika, and Konstantinos Theocharis perform live on guitar, piano, and flute, moving through the songs Theodorakis wrote when encounters with poets Seferis, Elytis, and Ritsos changed his artistic direction.

The audience is five-to-twelve-year-olds and the adults who brought them — parents who grew up with these melodies and children hearing them for the first time, seated close enough to see the projected archival documents in detail.

The Teaching Hall in the Megaron campus is a contained, purpose-built space — intimate by Megaron standards, with clear sightlines and acoustics tuned for spoken word and small-ensemble music. Sixty minutes, no interval.

If your child needs physical movement and interactive play, the seated concert format here may test their patience. But if they respond to live music and storytelling — if they watch a guitarist's fingers and want to know what happens next — this production meets them where they sit.

The Megaron is directly above Megaro Moussikis metro. Tickets run from six euros for school groups to thirteen euros general admission, available through ticketservices.gr. Sunday performances start at 15:00. The foyer is worth arriving early for — the Music Library itself is in the building, and the archive this show draws from lives there permanently.

A composer's personal archive, opened by his daughter's musical direction, performed sixty metres from the library where it is kept.
