"Zorba's Dionysos is a free scene, based on a script inspired by Nikos Kazantzakis's work. The show decays events and deeds from the incomprehensible life of the legendary Zorbas, a true Dionysian figure of Greek, who gathered around him scenic characters, whom he learned to love life and understand death. Whether it was the women he had easily seduced during his lifetime, whether it was the priests, monks and masters whom he met in his wanderings, Zorbas imposed himself in front of all as a character of Whose teachings have caught wings in the soul of men. In the performance of Marcel Top, Zorbas is alive, lives in each of us and, like the god Dionysus waits to be summoned and summoned to a cup of wine.
An anthropological-holographic show that reconciles the East with the West, surprising the perils of a collective hero, guided by the sea, a shaman - just like Carlos Castaneda's Don Juan. Greece, Turkey, Serbia, Romania reveal their specific fragrance, in which the ancestral mixes organically with modernism.
The Great Pass, the Sacred and the Profane, the daily rituals follow dynamically in a tectonic of civilizations. A true odyssey that talks about communion, but also about intolerance with tragic effects on the community. A show that teaches you how to breathe the pure air of the moment lived as enlightenment.
