[2011]: «Shopping And F***ing»

The interdisciplinary art group Fabrica Athens introduces itself to the Athenian audience and presents its first theatrical production with the title: “shopping & f***ing”.
The play by the British writer Mark Ravenhill, rewrites itself for the Greek reality of 2011 in an absolute realistic way.

Heroes impulsive and out of limits, seeking for happiness in the luxury of dust, filled with short-term delights. They get addicted, they consume and they are being consumed. Victims of their polluted lack of awareness and prisoners  of the “fast” and “cheep”, they trash love, dreams and hoped inside plastic bags. They nurture their existence with drugs and the experiment in homosexuality and everything that could lead them to living on the edge, while finally leading them to the absolute dead end.

[2014]: «Pulp Fiction»

“A surreal fossil of the battle between the ” good” and the “bad”, a series of self-destructed characters. Heroes that wear the costume either of criminals or black tie or casual clothes. Truth, lie, God, Devil, Light, Darkness all starring together. A drunk dream. Some will wake up, others will continue leaving in their delusions..”

Vasia Tsotsou (solo)

A solo inspired by the space of the political theory, a theatrical character at the final moment of the crisis, a soundless act and body in pain, seeking for oxygen in an un welcoming regularity, a hero that stands against the sense of the oppressed insistes to another world and dreams of the non normal.

[2014, 2015]: «Villa Utopia»

“The dream becomes nightmare so fast and the nightmare dream. Surely, you will have seen in your dream falling from somewhere high and just before you hit the ground you discover that you can fly…”

The Panic Theater and Fabrica Athens present at Virsodepsio every Sunday, from the 14th of December 2014 until the 1st of February 2015, at 19:00, the theatrical show VILLA UTOPIA, directed-installed by Lyssandros Spetsieris and written by Vivi Pinioti.

The new surreal theatrical text by Vivi Pinioti, the spiritual utopia of Andreas Empeirikos, through the “no Brazilia, but Oktana” and Noah’s myth, of the divine catastrophe towards a new beginning, are being presented at the Villa Utopia as three different ways of seeking the ideal. Three chapters dedicated to the utopia, compose the show Villa Utopia. Constructed by the unlinked logic of the dream allow to the audience to build its own myth.
