A Voracious Shadow by Mariano Pensotti at Onassis Stegi
Argentinian director and writer Mariano Pensotti returns to Athens with A Voracious Shadow, a tense and layered theatrical work that unfolds on the Upper Stage of Onassis Stegi. Performed in Greek with English surtitles, the piece follows two men connected by the same story: a mountaineer who survived a near fatal ordeal and an actor who later portrayed him on film. Through their parallel narratives, the performance moves between lived experience and its retelling, exploring memory, identity, and the complicated bonds between fathers and sons.
Starring Giannis Niarros and Kostas Nikouli in a demanding two person performance, the work shifts between intimacy and irony, suspense and reflection. Inspired by real events, literary traditions, and the unsettling visibility of forgotten histories resurfacing in a changing world, A Voracious Shadow blends documentary elements with fiction, questioning how lives are shaped, mythologised, and transformed when they are told and retold.
