“Homos, everyone in Greece”, by Jordan Sivey at Apo Michanis Theater
For the first time in Greece, the play “Homos, everyone in Greece” by Jordan Sivei, directed by Antonis Galeou, is presented at the “Apo Michanis” Theater.
Homos, in Greece, is all a bone-crushing love comedy, an anatomy of the furious need of people to be next to each other, but at the same time to raise huge obstacles and barriers in their relationships.
Jordan Seavey’s award-winning work is about the efforts of two men, a Greek, and a second-generation immigrant, to meet and fall in love over a six-year period, from 2006 to 2011, a breath before the collapse of the economy.
On the first acquaintance, which they both considered to be completely casual, everything goes wrong and binds them with the strongest bond: they seek to conquer what is incomprehensible and elusive to them. Through stormy alternations of spartans and dramatic events, the two heroes put under the microscope all their beliefs and desires, their love needs, social struggles, the violence that breaks out, the commitment, the monogamy, the faith, themselves ∙ grabbed by normalcy, to appease the beasts within them…
If their relationship lasts over time with honesty, good mood, and hope, will it be able to protect them from all the blows of modern social and political life? Does love finally give the secrets that make a man invulnerable?
