Actress Magda Mavrogianni combines speech, live music and dance in an artistic performance that brings Nelly’s life to the stage in a contemporary manner.
The idea took off at the Centre Culturel Hellenique in Paris, with the intent to create a performance which referenced Greece. The choice of Nelly’s was ideal, as her life, oeuvre and the manner in which she handled her photography was a paean to Greek culture.
In the performance, Nelly’s narrative is accompanied by her photographs and music by: Kalomoiris, Konstantinidis, Mitropoulos, Chopin, Schubert, Ravel and Gershwin.
