The Gamblers
Nikolai Gogol’s ‘The Gamblers’, performed by incarcerated participants at Domokos Prison, Domokos 2018.
A theatre performance by incarcerated participants as part of the event ‘Theatrical Escape from Stereotypes and Prejudice’, Domokos – Lamia.
Text: Based on Nikolai Gogol’s play of the same title.
Direction: Giorgos Dampasis.
Stage teaching: Sofia Ioannidi.
Group facilitation: Panos Dervisis.
Set and costumes: Wardrobe Department of the Municipal Regional Theatre of Roumeli.
Performers: Kamberis, Dimitris, Charalampos, Ledion, Fation, Freddy, Fotis, Andrei.
Director’s note: ‘This work offered a valuable opportunity for the participating offenders to talk about the idea of deception. They faced themselves honestly, observed actions and events from their lives, reconsidered them and reflected on personal experiences. Since art is concerned not only with beauty but also with ethics, I hope this effort, together with the pleasure of performance, will stimulate in all of us a willingness for self-criticism and, hopefully, an ethical shift.’
