Kafeneia / The future lasts forever. 10 years after - blitz collective
Blitz theatre group was formed in October 2004 by three young actors: Aggeliki Papoulia, Giorgos Valais and Christos Passalis. Working in the field and with the means of post-dramatic theatre, they were soon recognized as a collective that introduced new tendencies and aesthetics to the Greek scene. Lehman’s references of post-dramatic theatre as “presence rather than enactment”, “procedure rather than result”, “more ethics less aesthetics” and “aesthetics vs. anaesthetics” could be used to describe blitz’s work. They have co-operated with institutions such as the National Theatre of Greece, the Athens Festival, Schaubuhne (Berlin) and are now touring all over Europe. In this ‘Kafeneio’, they open a dialogue on their artistic quest and present a 30 min excerpt from their production “GALAXY”.
