On the occasion of the life of the Lady of Rho, known as Despina Achladiotis, the internationally awarded writer Yiannis Skaragas writes a moving and deeply human text on the occasion of the woman who became a symbol of bravery, patriotism and female emancipation.
The emblematic monologue “Lady of Rho” began its journey on the theater stage in 2017, it “went around” the world achieving great success wherever it was presented and from March 23 it returns to the GLORIA theater inviting the public to experience her lonely heroic life Miss Achladiotis.
A mixture of historical and fictional elements
Yiannis Skaragas reports to NEWS 24/7 regarding how history was combined with the fictional element “I focused on the oral testimonies of the people of Despina Achladiotis. The book and the work are very consistent in the historical elements, but highlighting the power of women to survive in the most desperate conditions, without losing human characteristics and feelings”.
What fascinated him most about this Woman’s life?
“The isolated man’s attempt to invest meaning in life even when the world around him is disintegrating irrationally and violently. It is a very current symbol for the Greek character since the economic crisis and after. It is the power of the powerless to change the lives of others with the surplus of humanity he has left in a dark and constantly threatening world,” the author replies.
