Anna Vagena: Politics is Caring for Others

Actress Anna Vagena talks about her role as Angela Papazoglou in the play that continues to be performed successfully for 26 years. She describes the play as a 'mystery,' as her performance is not a simple representation, but a deep connection with the history and memories of Asia Minor. Vagena states that Loukianos Kilaidonis, with his particular sensitivity, had understood the essence of the work. She expresses her joy at returning to Cyprus, where the play had a special resonance due to shared historical experiences. She emphasizes that Angela's message, 'don't forget,' remains relevant and important, as stories of displacement and injustice continue to repeat themselves today.
