Tribute to Constantine Cavafy
Cavafy (1863-1933) was one of the most influential literary figures produced by Greece in the early 20th century and instrumental in establishing modern Greek poetry on the international scene. Counted among his most important poems are "Ithaca" and "Waiting for the Barbarians".
One of the most important poets in modern Greek literature, his poetry is characterized by strong symbolism combined with unadorned speech and has been translated into French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and many other languages.
The Culture Ministry of Greece has designated 2013 as the "Year of Constantine Cavafy" to mark the 150th anniversary of the world-renowned poet's birth.
On this occasion Theatro Ena prepared an evening at its foyer with dramatized readings of thirty poems of Cavafy by the actors Manolis Michaelides, Sotiris Mestanas and Andreas Araouzos.
Music by Stavros Makris on guitar and Andreas Makirs on the ney.
