ALEXIS DAMIANOS, THE SINGING FILM DIRECTOR (PARASKINIO)

At various times, the "Paraskinio" television programme filmed the filmmaker Alexis Damianos at home, singing. Ecclesiastical hymns, folk songs, popular songs from the inter-war years, rebel songs and rare rebetika. He also recalls satirical songs and melodies he sang on stage, as in the famous performance in Lorca's Blood Wedding, staged at the Theatro Technis by Karolos Koun, to music by Manos Hadjidakis and sets and costumes by Yannis Tsarouchis. In that play, Alexis damianos played the moon and Elli Lambeti played the bride.
