A morning coffee with Dionysis Denis Makris to reveal to me "Who killed my father" in the performance directed by Christos Theodorides based on the play by Edouard Louis. A discussion about the pathologies of the family, how much it shapes us as personalities and those unspoken conversations we didn't have and carry for the rest of our lives. What is the title of the book about?The play is written as a monologue in the first place, where the son, Edward Louis, because it is also an autobiographical work, decides, having grown up now, to visit his father and tell him mainly what he could not tell him when he was younger. He has studied, he has made his life, he has settled down as to his sexuality and now, without fear of being a child, he decides to talk to his father. What he will meet is a middle-aged man, crippled psychologically and especially physically... in fact their meeting regresses between pleasant and unpleasant memories but also reveals the magic of people who change but maybe it's too late. Would you like to talk about the father-son relationship we see in the book?It's a very nuclear relationship but it ends up affecting all the other relationships we have with our family and our close ones in general. Usually out of the deepest relationships so many other things spring up and are born that when someone sees the play it will definitely remind them of something familiar. Is family perhaps the most deep and traditional relationship especially when we talk about the Greek one?- The family focus is one of the most dominant in the way we construct roles. Any small society is also easier to construct such roles because the perspectives are correspondingly short-sighted as well. The family is where the construction of the good son, the good student, the son or daughter who will still take on the role of guardian to the parents, mainly comes from, and that is how these primary constructions are created which are extended to society. "We are what we didn't do because the world or society prevented us". Would you like to comment on this phrase?Just like in the family, in society we end up forming relationships and shaping our personality through what we ultimately don't say. Through what we bury, what we repress. And ultimately we corner ourselves by convincing ourselves of what is right, perfect, and convenient in the eyes of others. Of parents, of loved ones, of friends, and somehow people multiply who don't know how to speak for themselves, because they simply don't know who they are. What is the relationship of today's man with politics?The relationship of today's man with politics is cut off ,because it is cut off with this personal voice that we say. The more deeply buried is this more sensitive version of ourselves that is no longer connected to this authenticity we had as children, the more disconnected is our political voice. The more connected we are to a truth of ours, the more connected our political representation is accordingly. This is a young writer who you think is responsible for his success and his works are being performed - Edouard Louis attempted to start writing fiction-fiction and as soon as he wrote the first words he asked himself how can I write about fake people when the real ones in my life burn so deeply? So he started writing about how he grew up and how he wanted to live a different life from the one he lived because it was precisely because his own people wanted him to be someone other than what he was. So he captured the heart of his longing and touched a lot of people who grew up that way. Would you like to talk about working with the group (Orchestra of Small Things) and with George on stage?It was one of the most effortless and easy things because of the code of communication we had developed with George and also with Christos and Xenia. Although the material was very difficult in terms of how you reconcile your personal memories with those of Louis. Dramatically but also acting-wise. So on the one hand I had the pleasure of combining a common code and an effortlessness of how we intertwine and on the other hand it had this depth of introspection and memory that we had to visit personally. Together these gave a rich and moving result. In our days the need for justice and equality seems more urgent than ever; - Yes, because the new that is born always tries to exist against the old. To eat it. Every transition in any historical era has had a lot of pain and a lot of violence in trying to find new names and structures to categorize. Would you like to tell me a little bit about your new project "Danny and the Deep Blue Sea" by John Patrick?It's also a very personal, intense and violent play. It's two people who meet by chance in a bar in the Bronx and between drinks, confessions and revelations they seem to crave a deeper connection with each other. What they are experiencing in relation to whatever abuse they have suffered seems here to be overcome, transcended and wanting to salvage something through the other.
