A few hours after its premiere, Markos Seferlis had already gathered a multitude of reactions. In his response to his critics, he cited the ” scientific view of psychiatrist Souras,” as he pointed out, who attended the show.
Dimitris Souras by his side: There are two genders, he shouted in the theater
The psychiatrist was sitting in the front row until Markos Seferlis came down from the stage and he got up from his seat to put his hand on the actor’s shoulder. “We can accept everything, things are changing, everything is evolving, sexual desires are accepted,” Dimitris Souras tells the audience before shouting that “there are two genders, male and female,” repeating the phrase over and over again. The audience of Markos Seferlis applauded him.

“Do not expect everyone to respect your opinion”
In the video response from Markos Seferlis, the actor and producer asked his critics not to expect only their opinion to be accepted.
He specifically stated: “This video is addressed to all those who once again use my name to be heard, to sell a book or something similar. The only thing they manage to do is advertise me, which I do not need, but I thank them very much for it.
In the video, you will see what psychiatrist Dimitris Souras said at the end of my show regarding the non-binary issue, not me. If you want to know what I say and how I say it, you can come to see me in the show, watch me, and then judge me. What matters in the video, however, is the spontaneous reaction of the audience and the comments on Mr. Souras’s statements. And finally, all of you, respect the opinions of other people.
Do not expect everyone to respect your opinion. This is called bullying, in case you didn’t know. And finally, understand what the difference is between mockery and satire. But what am I saying now, this is small print. Kisses.”
How the audience reacted to the show
A part of the show includes Markos Seferlis dressing up as Nemo, the non-binary person who won Eurovision 2024. After the premiere, excerpts from Markos Seferlis’s act began to spread on social media, and many targeted him for mocking the singer. After the videos circulated from his sketch, it was written on Twitter – X that the comedian was not only satirizing Nemo but non-binary individuals in general.
One of the messages against him read: “When Seferlis fills theaters mocking, do not be surprised by incidents of violence. Do not be surprised by homophobia. Do not be surprised by jokes about ‘fags’. About ‘figs’. About ‘sisters’ out there. We deserve our miserable fate.”
Όταν ο Σεφερλης γεμίζει θέατρο κοροιδευοντας μην σου κάνουν εντύπωση περιστατικά βιας
Μη σου κάνει εντύπωση η ομοφοβια
Μη σου κάνει εντύπωση το αστείο για την ” πουστρα “
Για τα “συκα”
Για την “αδερφω ” εκεί έξω

Another user insisted that ” what he is doing is ridicule of gender identity and sexual orientation”.
On the other hand, there were also comments supporting Markos Seferlis, emphasizing that it is something he has been doing for several years and ” whoever doesn’t like it shouldn’t watch him. They also pointed out that ” yes, Seferlis is to blame.”
