We are excited to invite you to our extraordinary theatrical production that delves deep into the heart of the human experience. "I Want a Country" is an evocative exploration of the search for a place to call home. This powerful performance brings to life the real stories of individuals from diverse backgrounds, each on a unique journey driven by war, poverty, persecution, and the desire to find a safe and welcoming place to belong.
What is "I Want a Country"?
"I Want a Country" is a poignant play by Andreas Flourakis, one of Greece's most celebrated contemporary playwrights and translated by Eleni Drivas. The narrative is brought to life by a talented theatrical chorus, presenting personal and collective voices that resonate with authenticity and emotion. Our production goes beyond the script, incorporating devised elements where cast members will perform monologues inspired by their own life experiences, and original songs collaborating closely with our show's composer, the accomplished musician Peter Douskalis.
The show is directed by Ioanna Katsarou, Co-Artistic Director of Eclipses Group Theater NY, whose visionary approach ensures a deeply immersive and thought-provoking experience.
I Want A Country has received the Queens Community Arts Grant from Flushing Town Hall.
Queens Community Arts Grant is supported by the New York State Council on the Arts, Statewide Community Regrants Program (formerly the Decentralization program) with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature.
