In the Theatre Wagon, the Central Scene of Train-Theater, the play "A Hostage" by Brendan Mehan is presented, one of the most important Irish authors of the previous century, with music written by Mikis Theodorakis. This is a powerful theatrical script, written in 1958, with solid structure and interesting characters, very timely, and a great production for the Train, which involves a ten (10) actor cast.
Along with the well known author - cook, the director Tatiana Lygari and a cast of worthy actors the young audience embark to the Spacetrain for long journeys and there their love for the theater, travelling, communication... and good food is united! Their hero is mr Ignatios Rodolfos de los Hupa Glupa. A great traveller and wanderer. But also a famous gourmand. He's handy with electronics too. He is the captain of a spacetrain that can be altered into a spaceship, submarine, airplane, helicopter but also a time machine!
This is a very original show, where music and modern dance narrate the parallel lives of two young people, who met on the internet, in a contemporary city such as Athens. The protagonists (2 dancers), a man and a woman who would never match in real life, become "friends" in Facebook, presenting a fake image of themselves. So basically they never know each other...
This winter, customers of Wagon - Restaurant of the Train, along with their dinner will be able to enjoy short original interactive happenings entitled "FOOD?" based on an idea of Tatiana Lygari on nutrition, with new artists from the field of the opera, live-performing and modern dance.
