Mermaid Madonna: Tales of a Crisis

04/02/2020

Greek Prime Minister Kiriakos Mitsotakis, who was among the first EU leaders to implement a strict quarantine in Greece, in now transferring the authority of enforcing the quarantine to Greek women.
The amendment to the current quarantine law transfers the power of issuing the necessary permits primarily to mothers and grandmothers.
“Women have been defending the Greek household for thousands of years, since the Ancient times when every Greek woman was the protector of ‘estia'” noted the President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou.

The cast of Mermaid Madonna Tales of a Crisis right before our last of seven sold out shows. Overwhelming positive audience response!
One of their many comments:
"People fleeing impossible situations often aren’t seen as individuals -this play does that. And more. Threads are connected and empathy explored in a way that can be seen, heard, and felt.
Thanks to the cast, the musicians, and Stephanie Golino for an awesome experience!"

With humor, beauty, and compassion this play tells a story of human kindness in the face of tragedy. Greek people in these photos were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for their life saving acts in response to the arrival of over half a million refugees to the shores of their small village.
