In December 2019, Parabases, SNFCC Reader’s Theater, presented Virginia Woolf’s masterpiece The Waves, with Lydia Fotopoulou and Christos Loulis transformed by Dimitris Karantzas’s staging.

“I am afraid of you all. I am afraid of the shock of sensation that leaps upon me, because I cannot deal with it as you do – I cannot make one moment merge in the next. To me they are all violent, all separate; and if I fall under the shock of the leap of the moment you will be on me, tearing me to pieces.”

The Waves, Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf’s masterpiece The Waves is a torrent of thoughts, emotions, traumas and details of everyday life. The author closely observes the relationship of six characters from childhood to death, composing an elegy for nature by tracing an entire day from sunrise to sunset. A fragmental text on existence, death, friendship and love.

Virginia Woolf’s writing style is a prime example of the stream-of-conscioussness narrative mode, which captures thought and emotion in a state of flux, without a rational structure.

Lydia Fotopoulou and Christos Loulis were the voices of The Waves, in a regular alternation of roles.

The Waves, translated by Aris Berlis, was kindly provided by Ypsilon Editions.
