Excerpt from the review of the performance “Eros-Hero” in Skiathos Island, birthplace of the author of “Eros-Hero”:
“I think that there are not enough words to express the magical result of the interpretation of Papadiamantis’ poetic style throught the perfect collaboration of the arts of theatre, music and dance. What we experienced tonight at Bourtzi was unprecedented and awe-inspiring!”
