The mother of the dog

by Pavlos Matesis

From 07.04.2011 to 22.05.2011

ZILLER BUILDING - STAGE "NIKOS KOURKOULOS"

The life of Raraou, “the great star of theatrical revue” as she styles herself, is related through flashbacks of a society attempting to get by in the midst of poverty. From the Occupation to the present day, Raraou’s story, like the story of the Greece about which she reminisces, is a battle for survival. Her struggle is unrelenting, and she will use every means at her disposal to emerge unscathed - even if she has to take refuge in her own reality.
Pavlos Matesis’s stage adaptation of his own novel, The mother of the dog, presents a view of modern Greek history that is both incisive and funny, dramatic and surrealistic. The iconic Raraou becomes a symbol of the human determination not to submit.

The Greek National Theatre has invited the award-winning Serbian director, Nikita Milivojevic, who is well-known for previous successes in Greece (Crime and Punishment, Don Juan), to bring Matesis’s unique world to the stage.
The cast includes well-established names and exciting new actors.
