_________________

THE Argyris Xafis he stars in his monologue Joseph Maria Miro interpreting and revealing all the characters involved around the dead body of a teenage boy.

THE Zoe Xanthopoulos directs the work of the award-winning Catalan author and with an ally his unique interpretation Argyri Xafitransforms it into a shockingly sharp tour-de-force that deals with the destruction of beauty and the depths of human sexuality and desire.

The play

His award-winning work Joseph Maria Miro “The most beautiful body ever found in this place” (BORN Award 2020 and National Drama Award 2022) begins with the footnote “Written for an actor. His gender doesn’t matter. Not even his age. Neither is the physique.”

A teenager, the most handsome boy in all of rural Catalonia, is found dead in the middle of nowhere. On the occasion of this event, the pathology of the closed society of a provincial town in which nothing ever happens unfolds.

Paternity, homophobia, guilty secrets, oppressed lives and a song that awakens the most nightmarish memories. What is not said, leads to the annihilation of the heroes, real and existential. Alive-dead immersed in their desires and instincts, trapped in orthodoxy and stereotypical constructions.

Really, how complicit are we when we remain mere spectators of this cannibalism?

The show

THE Argyris Xafis under her directorial guidance Zois Xanthopoulos and by vehicle the award-winning translation (Eurodram Award) of Maria Hadjiemmanouil interprets Mirosan’s multifaceted monologue an exorcism ritual, delving into the tragic event of the teenage boy’s murder. The characters he portrays struggle with their own desires, but also those imposed on them by the oppressive social structures of a seemingly close-knit community. The music was composed especially for the show by Fotis Siotas.
