About Εταιρεία Θεάτρου Ανέμη - The Last Words of the Emperor - Yria's Song - Hill of Stranis

It is a fifteen-syllable elegy - a parable about Zakynthos. A centuries-old olive tree of the ancient settlement of Ambelos in Keri, which burned down in August 2019, begins to tell and softly sing the story of Yria, the story of Zakynthos. Yria was a Highness, a Goddess with long ebony, brilliant hair, which as it turned out, had rare qualities. They healed the soul from the pain of lust. One day this gift began to bring gold, gold desires and desires greed. Yria stoically offered her earldom to the inhabitants of the island until she was exhausted, lost her vigor and began to drip... The performance Parable of Zakynthos combines narrative elements of commedia dell'arte, elements of tragedy, narration, choral composition, theatre, music and image.
