Theatre Wagon


The Seventh Station - Seduction of a doll

Season: 2008-2009  [Chronology]

PARTICIPATING ARTISTS

The bold suggestion of the innovative "theatrical package", which is this year suggested to the passengers of the Railway Carriage Theater to Treno sto Rouf by Eugenios Trivizas and Tatiana Ligari at the Theater Wagon with the general title "O Έβδομος Σταθμός" - which is presented in two versions, one suitable for minors and one suitable for adults - is complete with the presentation of its second version entitled "O Έβδομος Σταθμός Αποπλάνηση μιας κούκλας" written by our favorite author of children's literature and criminology professor at Redding University of England, exclusively for his adult fans.

The audience-passengers will cross seven stations while on the last train to leave a country in which the governor has abolished all "useless" and counterproductive professions, which waste active citizens' time and won't allow them to engage in "constructive" activities, so that the country's five year economic growth programme is successful. Three artists, wanted by the law, board this train and during an exciting journey, present the story of Amorfoula, a girl without a shape.

With its main topic being freedom of Art and the importance of its existence, this tough, yet packed with humour, "fairytale" language allegory sets questions like: how free are we today within the context of democrasy and globalisation by which we live? How much is Art and Culture considered by most as "incomprehensible luxuries" and their products inefficient for economically developing societies? How can we release ourselves from the standards imposed by our society and our familiar enviroment so that we can discover and accept our true selves?

This is the biggest and most complex production of the Treno sto Rouf so far in its twelve years of operation, consisting of a troupe of nine exceptional actors, a lot of humor, songs and dance.
