“FREE RELATIONSHIP” by Giorgos Vlachoyannis

Direction: Haris Fleouras “Everything sounds excessive

to me.

Exaggerated and disturbing”


Orestis and Chrysanthi are a married couple trapped in a relationship that doesn't suit them. She experiences marriage as a silent prison, while he fights an incessant battle with his past and its shadows. Among them, a puppeteer mother invisibly moves the threads, influencing every word, every decision, every conflict; Secrets, infidelity, cover-ups and unfulfilled desires compose an explosive landscape, where lack of communication becomes a catalyst. A seemingly simple question: “Why would a woman lock herself in a refrigerator?”, turns into a symbol of the need for escape, silence and redefinition. And at the same time, the obsessive presence of the mother brings out the roots of a man, who is unable to cut himself off from his past. The play skillfully moves between comedy and tragedy, creating a mirror of modern life. Orestis and Chrysanthi are a couple, which turns into a symbol of all those who struggle to coexist without communicating meaningfully.
