Six characters who are met or lost. Someone desperately looking for companionship, another for a second chance. One trusts a stranger with their life. Two others meet in a cold night on a bench and fight over a mattress. A collage of human relations, ordinary and innocent at first glance, but perhaps hiding danger, violence, or exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>The play consists of four autonomous acts, with some loose connection between them, which have the crisis as their background. It outlines a microcosm of society, where the personal &#8211; internal crisis leads to the crisis of relations, values \u200b\u200band institutions, and finally concludes to the collapse.<\/p>\n<p>The first act titled &#8220;Two Men&#8221; takes place in a neighborhood cafe, where a wealthy retiree, A. randomly looks at and invites at the table a young foreign man, B., with who he lives in the same building.<\/p>\n<p>The second act is titled &#8220;Mezzanine&#8221; and it takes place in a company where violent incidents are taking place. One of the guards saves the Chairman of the Board and takes him in a dark mezzanine of the building, which is intended for saving money and documents. There they hide until things calm down.<\/p>\n<p>The third act, &#8220;The Meeting&#8221; takes place in a modern cafe. A couple, which is separated, meets to discuss, find solutions. In their middle, a child.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth scene, &#8220;Final Encounter&#8221; takes place on a bench next to the cafeteria of the third act. There, from the beginning of the third act, is a man sleeping under a duvet, a homeless man. A second homeless man appears and tries to have a friendly chat with him.<\/p>\n<p>Mezzanine<\/p>\n<p>5 male &#8211; 1 female<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[12],"class_list":["post-4192","article","type-article","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general-essays"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/greek-theatre.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/4192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/greek-theatre.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/greek-theatre.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/greek-theatre.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/4192\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/greek-theatre.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greek-theatre.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
