In February, a brand new space, with a special aesthetic, the theatre “Sygrou 33” opens its doors with a show that goes on stage for the first time. Antonis Kalogridis directs “Agrypnia” by Dimitris Dimitriadis, with the original title “Gifts of the Night”.

In a zero spacetime anything can happen. Where fantasy meets reality and life does not end with death…

A new religion, the unfulfilled love of two young people, a family in denial. A game of relationships, contrasts and power.

Can a love at first sight scar you for life? Is society, religion and family ready to accept him? Even if it’s people of the same sex? If only for once we could look into each other’s eyes and see who they really are, if we could speak honestly and admit our truth, maybe the future wouldn’t look so bleak…

“I have not seen your world more ugly, dirtier, more pitiful. It has always been imperfect but today what I see is unbearable. The eyes of a God cannot bear his image. You will all pay dearly.”
