In the Lounge of the 1930s Generation
Those who dropped in on Angelos and Leto Katakouzenos at their Athenian residence last century were never quite sure who they’d encounter there (which was no doubt part of the fun). Perhaps Marc Chagall? Albert Camus? William Faulkner? This glittering power couple were friends to them all, as well as just about every Greek artist and poet of note between the 1930s and 1980s. You can re-visit this golden era at a theatrical performance to mark the 10th anniversary of the Angelos & Leto Katakouzenos house, now a fascinating museum, opposite the National Gardens in Syntagma. Be sure to look closely at the signatures on the portraits and paintings that still grace the walls of this former literary salon: many of them were gifts from the Katakouzenos’ famous pals. Hear the performance in English on the 28th November and 12th December.
