Short Summary
- Hello everyone!
- We are the HomoLudens Theatre Group from Greece.
- We are all professional performers and artists from various artistic fields (theater, fine art, music, design, architecture) that bring in and combine our experiences into theatrical performances.
- We first met and worked together in 2015 when we were selected by the National Theatre of Greece to participate in the Platform for Young Creators (via a national competition).
- We are now creating our new theater piece based on Stratis Myrivilis' three short stories ("Οι γοργόνες", "Δευκαλίων", "Μια μαχαιριά") taken from "The Green Book".
- Myrivilis' wittyfull writting has been a great source of inspiration for us. It speaks directly to the heart about fundamental issues. It arises a wide range of sentiments and recalls profound matters about life, one's purpose, expectations, love.
- The 3 stories we selected from the Green Book, shine light onto these matters and invite each one of us to recall our own personal matters and thus inspires us back.
- Stratis Myrivilis is considered a great Greek writer belonging to the 1930's generation. The similarities of his times and today's world are strong: unstable social-political environments, immigration waves, financial instability, etc.
- We, as a theater group, stand with curiosity and will of investigation on human existence back in the 30's and how many aspects of life are still relevant and almost identical to today's world.
- Why we ask for your help?
- We believe that both we and you, creators and audience, can benefit by making this theatre performance a reality. It means a lot to us to share with the audience great stories of the past that are still relevant today. And we know that for the audience is equally important to discover old and new theatrical pieces, stories and novels that can actually bring something positive.
- Theatre is our passion and we need to keep the flame lit and be able to keep practicing our profession in a decent and responsible way.

Myrivillis Project will be premiering on the 11th of February 2016

What We Need
- In these times of financial crisis, we, the HomoLudens Theater Company, finance our productions ourselves. We do all actions possible to support our theatre creation but we also count on help by willing friends.
- The financial contribution that we will receive will be used entirely and solely to cover and past and future expenses.
- Here is a short list of our expenses:
- Rehearsal costs,
- Theatre rent,
- Sceneries,
- Costumes,
- Materials,
- Advertising.
- We do not care about luxurious sceneries or costumes, we care about basic conditions: to work successfully and to live with dignity.
- Considering the fact that it is a difficult time for anyone, we have placed some perks that may fit to any contributor's budget. Even 1 euro is a great support for us.
- There's a greek saying that goes "fasouli to fasouli gemizei to sakouli" ("φασούλι το φασούλι γεμίζει το σακούλι"), which literally translates to "bean by bean the sack is filled". It's about how each bean (φασούλι) can gradually stack up a stock large enough to feed you.
