"One doubt arose in the mind of a Noble Vigilante" @ "Booze Cooperativa"
The first jazz musical of Anamateur in Athens - at last! The Noble Vigilante and his gang's hideout will be the legendary "Booze Cooperativa" during three consecutive week-ends.
PRESS RELEASE:
In a small society suffering a big crisis, the new controversial talk of the day is about an unknown man who appropriately punishes the ones who manage to escape the punishment they deserve by the Law: corrupted deputies, mischievous journalists etc. "Noble Vigilante" is how he is called - and not by chance: you see, all of his unfortunate victims are humiliated in front of people's eyes in such a terrible, yet entertaining sort of way, that he is considered by many not as a common terrorist, but as a great artist indeed! One day though, something strange happens in his life. Love! At first sight! And promising as it seems... She is an artist, a true painter, furthermore beautiful and talented, who cannot resist for long to this strange charmer, as badly as she tries to. Before they even realize it, they find themselves living together in a situation that would reach the absolute perfection. If only he could reveal to her his precious secret...
"One doubt arose in the mind of a noble vigilante" is a musical-theatrical play meant to be performed exclusively by jazz musicians. It is the first part of the musical tetralogy "Anamateur conquering his most desired Peace", which is written by jazz entertainer Georgios T. Anamateros (alias Anamateur). Main characteristics of the tetralogy is that while the aesthetics of a jazz concert remain, the musicians turn themselves into actors as well and narrate in a way reminding ancient Greek drama and early silent movies, four dark love stories. The first story of this tetralogy was presented in Lisbon in 2009 and now it will be presented in Athens, with Anamateur himself as the Noble Vigilante, Margarita Souvleri as the inspired painter, Dimitris Karayiannis, Vaggelis Paraskevaides, Manos Loutas and Dimitris Klonis as the (jazz) Chorus, Maria Katsipataki as a tap-dancing Deus-ex-Machina and Fanis Katehos as the narrator. Anamateur's co-director is Maria Katsipataki, Vassilis Avrantinis is the sound and light engineer. If you want to know what is the doubt that arose in the mind of the noble vigilante, you just have to visit "Booze Cooperativa" (57 Kolokotronis str., Athens), on 28, 29 January, 4, 5, 11, 12 February, around 20h00!
Address: 57 Kolokotroni str., Athens, 10560; reserv.: (+30) 210 3240944 (11h00-17h00), (+30) 6976 258452 (17h-21h00). Entrance: 12 euros.
"Petite Fleur" (in Chalandri) welcomes for the first time Anamateur & Pros. Songs from Anamateur's "One doubt arose in the mind of a noble vigilante", that will have its première at the end of the month, will be included in the repertoire, along with familiar standards by Fats Waller, Duke Ellington and Cole Porter. Pros: Dimitris Karayiannis on tenor sax and clarinet, Stamatis Stamatakis on bass and Jim "baby" Klonis on drums. Guest Pro from Thessaloniki: Yiannis Oikonomidis on trumpet.
Address: Address: 2 Aghios Nikolaos Square, Chalandri, Athens; tel. (+30) 210-6814825. Free entrance.
