On Wednesday, December 17, immediately after the performance of “Black and White”, a discussion followed featuring the actors Antonis Kafetzopoulos and Jerome Kaluta, with invited guests Nikos Dendzi Odoumbitan – founder of Generation 2.0, Menelaos Karamaghiolis – filmmaker and member of Døcumatism, and Vasilis Chronopoulos – lawyer.
On the occasion of the performance of Afro-Greek actor Jerome Kaluta and themes of discrimination highlighted, among others, in the play, the invited guests spoke both about the play and its thematic dimensions, as well as about their own personal or professional experiences and perspectives regarding the visibility of the African diaspora in Greece.
A few words about the play:
The play “Black and White” (“The Sunset Limited”) by the great American writer Cormac McCarthy continued its successful run at the Epì Kolonò Theatre, translated and directed by Antonis Kafetzopoulos, who co-starred with Jerome Kaluta in a heartbreaking clash between two opposing worlds: faith and despair, light and darkness. With its distinctive understated humor, dense language, and intellectual intensity, the work unfolds an existential dialogue between two schools of thought confronting the absolute. A play driven by language and inner tension, an existential duel about what is worth keeping a person alive.
Antonis Kafetzopoulos’ directorial vision and Jerome Kaluta’s co-starring performance offered a new reading of this rare theatrical text, bridging American existential literature with the contemporary Greek theatrical scene.
