Description

Les Hypocrites – a theatre company established in Paris in 2012 and comprising artists of Greek and Greek-French origin, working professionally in different arts but sharing a common interest in the Greek language and culture – present a fusion of theatre, music and video art, inspired by the poetry of C. P. Cavafy. Having the oeuvre of the Alexandrian as a set off point, Les Hypocrites have created their own story in which the poet himself and his works play the leading role.

The performance comes to the Axiothea Mansion just a few months after its successful première in April 2014 at Théâtre de
Ménilmontant in Paris.
