The highly successful show on the life and work of Mikis Theodorakis that sold more than 100,000 tickets throughout Greece returns for a few days only to Badminton Theater in Athens.

The show will open today, January 28 and is scheduled to run until February 28.

The legendary life of Mikis Theodorakis, Greece’s best-known living musician, songwriter and world-famous composer, comes to life on stage by a talented 35 member cast at Badminton Theater. A unique journey through the history of modern Greece from 1922 to the present day through Mikis Theodorakis’ incomparable life, music and songs.

The show guides us through his life, revealing and vibrant, intertwined with the most important social and political events of the last century; a coexistence of music and poetry and his encounters with other personalities who have also had a strong impact on modern Greek culture such as Hadjidakis, Elitis, Ritsos, Seferis, Gatsos.

More than 50 of his songs, inextricably associated to the desires and needs of an entire nation, are connected to the recent history of Greece. His legacy is brought to life on stage where theatre, dance, music and cinema admirably mingle into perfection in honor of this exceptional man.
