The National Athenaeum Iași invites you on Monday, February 24, 2025, at 19:00, to the show ZORBA THE GREEK, a performance about people with hot blood, about wildness and human maladaptation, about the meanings of life. The show is entirely dominated by Zorba, and actor Marius Bodochi is the perfect choice for this role. Zorba's exuberance, the character's ability to see only the bright side of life and transfer his optimistic attitude to those around him, combined with the metaphor of dancing on the deserted beach, make this show an unforgettable experience.
Zorba the Greek is a show—pure and simple—joy. The adventurer Zorbas is a simple man, with a big heart and an uneducated mind, but with an inner strength that opened him early to life experiences. At a crossroads, the intellectual plagued by existential issues meets the Greek who enjoys every moment of life, every moment of the day, and feels every emotion with boundless intensity. Loyal friends and companions for a time, the wealthy learn from the poor man, yet rich in inner wealth, priceless lessons about joy, balance, pride, and honor.
A journey in time on a magical island, a true lesson about how to love, live, about life and death, and about how to remain HUMAN. This is what Zorba left us!
“- Will you take me with you?
- Where?
- Wherever God leads...!”
This is where our show starts! We are waiting for you to discover together that “life is a joke”!
