Stages of Resistance | Bloody Sonnets (a.k.a. Bloody Diaries)

STAGES OF RESISTANCE

The B & M Theocharakis Foundation in collaboration with Mavili Theatre.

One Month. One Stage: Each week in March presents a distinct theatrical experience at the newly established Mavili Theatre and at the auditorium of the B & M Theocharakis Foundation.

Maxim Gorki Theater – Royal Court Theatre – DPOH Slovakia – La MaMa New York

Three international productions in Athens

The Stages of Resistance program presents works that approach the stage as a space of testimony. Performances based on real experiences, where personal narratives become carriers of history, politics, and collective memory.

Their creators approach the theatrical act as a place where identity, violence, exile, and justice are not presented as abstract concepts, but as lived experiences of the body and the voice.

In a world overloaded with images and narratives, these performances return to the essence of live presence: one person on stage speaking—and an audience invited to listen.
