Description

The Cyprus Theatre Organisation will for the month of February be hosting “I, Gogo”, an awarded guest production written and directed by Eleni Gasouka and starring Elisavet Konstantinidou, for three performances.

I, Gogo has received much praise and applause by critics since 2013, when it was first staged and has thrilled audiences in Athens, Thessaloniki and all over Greece. For her performance, Elisavet Konstantinidou received the Rena Vlachopoulou Award, while writer and director Eleni Gasouka won the Award for Best Contemporary Author in 2014.

Synopsis
A woman finds herself trapped in the wreckage of her car after being in a serious car crash. How will she survive it? Who will help her off the edge of the cliff? A woman so used to having others solve her problems will for the first time have to figure her way out of this one. She has no other choice in this matter of life and death. Will Gogo survive this or not?

A personal confrontation in which comedy and drama alternate in the heroine's delirious monologue. A comedy that deals with the luxury of depression of modern man, or perhaps a tragedy about loneliness and exclusion as the ultimate human destiny?

Gogo perhaps, may have the power to adjust to any kind of unusual circumstance, to whatever may occur. Perhaps not. She simultaneously faces both an impasse and redemption, much like any other 'trapped' person, but also like those who do not give up the fight.
