The Brave Little Tailor in Cyprus
By Andri Constantinou Apr 2008 From Issue 36.1

In Autumn 2006, Satiriko produced Grimm Brothers’ tale The Brave Little Tailor, a stage adaptation by Heinz-Uwe Haus. This stage production was directed by Marianna Kafkaridou and was loved by its young spectators.

Thalheimer brings Wedekind’s Lulu to BAM
By George Panaghi Jan 2008 From Issue 36.1

Frank Wedekind’s Lulu is essentially a play about excess. It seems like an odd match for Michael Thalheimer, the German director known for his painfully minimalist style.
