It is a dark, spooky, sparse, heartrending, hilarious and selfie performance of a cebalo, fagotto, coffin and ossuary. One dead man show, a total black comedian monologue with thirteen roles. Thirteen epic comic obituaries to resurrect the dead!
The roles have been written, cried on, mourned and played by the “glorious” Giorgos Galitis, while the heartbreaking, head scarf wearing and tears in the eyes direction is conducted by the “late” Vladimiros Kyriakides. Attend the play “The Radikia Anapoda” and we hope you cry (from laughter). A show that you will “live” by.

This is a funny story with an anti-war character. The two eternal enemies, cats and mice will settle their differences once and for all. The two leaders will confront each other: Zerar, the captain of cats and Mitsos, the leader of the mice. But what happens when people wish for war and the leaders do not want it? The cats and the mice furiously gather all the food available in the area and instead of eating it, they use it as warfare to hit the enemies. And just when all food is finished and starvation appears, they realize the mistake they made. As in real life, the difficulties here bring the heroes closer and make them think that “no matter how different others are, sometimes they are very similar to you.”
