Letter to Costis
Writing a letter to your loved one means that you extend his existence by you, that in some way you manage to abolish the loss. This is what Xenia Kalogeropoulou decided to do in October 2013, when the curtain fell for her 37 year long spouse and soul companion, Costis Skalioras. However she achieved much more. As she pulls out memories, both bitter and funny, to recount them to Costis, Xenia Kalogeropoulou to set up in front of us Greece that does not exist anymore, but which gave birth to theatre critics such as Costis Skalioras and theatrical actors as herself: middle class lounges, popular theatre companies, the Greek islands of the '40s and the' 50s, the commercial cinema production and the non-commercial theatre of the '60s, the dictatorship period as lived, mainly, by the people involved in the theatre. And later, the time passes making all that past meet our present, bringing with it all that resisted in time.
