Argentina – “Zorba, the Greek” returns to Argentina on February 11

“Zorba the Greek”,  produced by Naples’ San Carlo theatre, will be back on stage in Argentina on Feb. 11, to participate in the second edition of the “Festival de musica en Plaza Vaticano”. The performance is a two-act choral ballet with 22 scenes designed by Lorca Massine in 1988. “Zorba the Greek” was inspired by the celebrated novel by Nikos Kazantzakis that narrates the friendship between the British Basil and the Greek Zorba, a modern Dyonisius who – according to Massine – lives for the moment, almost nullifying the past and ignoring the future.  The event’s  organisers – the Asociacion Civil Cultural Centro Historico Teatro Colon, in collaboration  with the Teatro San Carlo of Naples and the Italian Cultural Institute in  Buenos Aires, have decided to enter it again in this year’s Festival programme,  due to the success it achieved in the Festival’s first edition.
