DROMEDY

directed by Christos Doulgerakis

SYNOPSIS: Dionisis is a stand-up comedian who unconditionally loves his job and puts the greatest effort into it, but the continuously increasing changes on today’s society bring him face to face with performing struggles. This is a situation he refuses to admit, but definitely affects the way his comedic monologues work towards the audience. When this problem becomes obvious enough to be ignored, he’ll be forced to deal with it. His girlfriend Xanthi, becomes an unexpected teammate to this effort. However, she also carries her own demons, originating from her childhood and family environment. She has chosen a different path though, attempting to forget and avoiding to provoke the “monsters” of her past, while feeling guilty for her role in their creation.
A comedy rehearsal night at home brings these two different approaches to conflict. Dionisi’s monologues provoke Xanthi’s guilt and her interventions reveal the fear he’s choosing to ignore. Trapped inside the same space, they are quickly led to recognize their fear, but fail to use their long developed defences. And when the defences fall, the feelings they share will help them defeat the fear, just by deconstructing it.
