Monogramma   (R)   
News / Biography





"Monogramma" has uniquely recorded the individuals who have marked the intellectual, cultural, and artistic trajectory of our country with their presence and work. It has been characterized as a "National Archive" by the press, and for the first time in 2012, the Academy of Athens recognized and awarded audiovisual work, awarding producers and directors George and Ero Sgourakis the Academy of Athens Award for their entire body of work, particularly for "Monogramma." The reasoning behind this was that "…their biographical programs constitute a valuable portrait of Greeks who acted in the past but also in our era and created, as it was characterized, a work "for the next generations".
The idea of ​​creating this series came from producer-director George Sgourakis, to present the life, work, and worldview of individuals who act in the intellectual, cultural, artistic, social, and public spheres, in an autobiographical format so that there is no interference and the cinematic document is preserved in its purest form.
The format of each episode aims at presenting the autobiographical (visual and audio recording) of an individual who operates in the intellectual, artistic, cultural, political, social, and public life, in a way that engages the interest of contemporary viewers.

Today: «Anna Synodinou»- Part 2

In the second part of the tribute, Anna Synodinou discusses her acquaintance and relationship with her husband, Giorgos Marinakis, a triple jumper champion, emphasizing their common ground, which was their shared commitment to promoting Greek culture.

A significant part of her narrative concerns her remarkable project, the "Lykavittos Theater," designed by architect Takis Zenetos. Together with her husband, she envisioned the presentation of ancient drama in an open-air setting outside Epidaurus, as well as the promotion of Greek culture. She narrates the timeline of the realization of this vision under the supervision of the Greek National Tourism Organization (EOT), and the opening of the newly established theater in June 1965, which housed the "Greek Scene - Anna Synodinou" troupe. With the imposition of the dictatorship in 1967 and censorship, her theatrical activity was interrupted. From 1973 to 1975, she made appearances with the National Theater and the State Theater of Northern Greece.

In the final part of the show, Anna Synodinou talks about her political career and parliamentary role, as she was affiliated with the New Democracy party from 1974 to 1989, following the encouragement of Konstantinos Karamanlis. She also touches on the general political life, cultural, and intellectual issues of our country.

During the show, archival photographic and audiovisual material is presented, including moments from the performance "Troades" by Euripides, staged by the National Theater in Epidaurus in July 1991, directed by Giorgos Theodosiadis, and Anna Synodinou's stirring performance in the role of Hecuba. It was the time when Anna Synodinou returned to the National Theater and to Epidaurus after a 10-year absence.



Introduced by the producer Giorgos Sgourakis.
