Description

In all areas of art, several artists dealt with the dark side of the human existence and presented it through painting, theater, literature and poetry.
In the late 19th to mid-20th century, some poets were marked as «cursed poets», both for the theme of their work but especially for the way they approached and presented their subjects.

Five of them, five important personalities of the arts, come to life on stage through their work, their lives and also the historical, political and social conditions of their era: Kostas Karyotakis, Charles Baudelaire, Sylvia Plath, Maria Poludouri, Artur Rembo.
