Dimitris Papaioannou's new piece is a "dissection of the male psyche," and seems to draw upon a range of influences including the work of Jean Genet, Rene Magritte and Robert Wilson. Inspiration for the show also came partly from Papaioannou's own experiences as a gay man in Greece.

The protagonist is "Mrs. Epitheoresis" herself, who returns to the stage to travel her great-grandson back in time, to her most important moments. On the stage parade the legendary protagonists, the inimitable lines, the great voices, the immortal songs, the glittering theaters of the golden age of the epitheoresis. And up close, current events, political and social changes, urbanization, the fate of Greece - always with humor and a satirical mood. "Kyria Epitheoresis" takes the viewer by the hand and guides them through the bars and historical theaters of Athens from the 1930s to the beginning of the dictatorship in 1967.
