Every Saturday at 21:00

The Hellenic Theatre Production Company “PHOTON OF ART AND CULTURE” presents the play “Kolpert” by David Gieselmann translated by Giorgos Depastas and adapted- directed by Alexandra Voudzouraki from Saturday, January 14 2023 and every Saturday at the recently established NOŪS Theatre.
In 1948 Alfred Hitchcock presents the film Η θηλιά The Noose where two young friends kill a fellow student for no apparent reason, place him in a chest and then throw a party around it. David Gieselmann uses the same central idea for his black comedy: A couple, Sarah and Ralph, kill Sarah’s boss, Mr Colpert, cut him up, stuff him into a trunk and invite Edith, Sarah’ s colleague, with her husband, Bastian, for dinner in order to have fun. What was their motive? The routine which, as Sarah says, “exceeded our endurance”. Why Mr Colpert? “Because he seemed so useless, so incapable of feeling anything”. With irony, bitterness, sharp humor and tenderness, Gieselmann presents a modern man/woman trapped in schematic, superficial and abusive personal, professional and friendly relationships, a modern man/ woman bound by social norms of acceptable behavior that oppress him, a modern man/ woman who tries desperately to hide the beast screaming inside him. In 1948 the murder seems absurd and the murderers are finally discovered and punished, in 1999, the year Kolpert was whritten,murder is a way out, ultimately vindicated as a choice and, like a virus, spreads, dominates and liberates.
Kolpert at NOŪS Theatre every Saturday from 14 January 2023 at 21:00, for only 10 performances.
