For Αποχωρισμός κ.α. πολεμικές τέχνες by Efthimis Christou, Sfiga Music Theatre, Athens, Greece.

The set consists of evergreen plants that seem frozen in time, regardless of the season. With this choice, I aimed to evoke the feeling of a moment under the sun that, while you are experiencing it, seems as if it could last forever. The warm stage lighting and the subtle yet ever-present elements of nature draw attention to what happens between the characters. As the actors remove their coats, floral, velvet, and brocade costumes are revealed; their bodies integrate into the timeless landscape and turn into part of the farewell, part of this moment. The entire set captures a moment suspended in time, much like the embrace shared when saying goodbye.
