The “Alogi” Troupe was originally founded on January 2007 consisting of new, young actors. The members of the troupe collaborated in the past while in drama school, in the presentation of two plays, “The Pursuit” and the first version of “The Escape”. Another adaptation of “The Escape” has followed and now the play has reached its final form.
The “Alogi” Troupe has participated in the 2nd Festival of New Actors at the “Topos Allou” Theatre, the “Going Youth Festival” at the “Roes” Theatre and in the “Nyxtes Nova Pars” at the Altera Pars Theatre in 2007 in Athens. It is the only greek team to attend the Biennale of Italy on May 2008 in the section of theatre.
The Escape- the play
Four innocent people… Three men... One woman… A birthday party… An accident… The identification… The imprisonment… The degradation… The exhaustion... The plan… The decision … The “Alogi” Troupe presents … THE ESCAPE
Coming soon… on a stage near you
It’s the story of four people who accidentally commit a crime and are sent to prison. We get to watch moments of their daily life there and the degradation they undergo until they decide to escape. After two unsuccessful attempts and the punishment that follows, they finally succeed to escape. The first scene of the play looks like a trailer of a movie with scenes taken from the play that follows. The whole story is given in a comical way, using only physical means of expression, guided by fantasy. The actors take on a stellar performance by creating an abundance of places where the story unfolds, while the pace set is very fast, creating an atmosphere reminding us more of cinema than theatre. The play's humor is mostly based on creating easily recognizable situations that are then taken to unexpected extremes, get exaggerated, twisted and inverted. The play addresses all ages and nationalities.
The “Alogi” Troupe, consists of: Nikos Axiotis, Lefteris Eleftheriou, Nikolas Makris, Konstandinos Passas, Vassiliki Tsoupaki, Theodora Evgenaki, Tatiana Kalntzi.
