"GREEK ACTS" travels, records, and presents the timeless cultural expressions of people and places. The journey, the music, the myth, the dance, the world. This is the destination of the show. The protagonist is the human, accompanied by mythical ancestors, in the local cultural events. It's where human adventure is distinctively traced in its authentic expression, across time. The show travels, explores, and reveals an enthralling human geography. The mosaic of the present creative and timeless cultural evolution of our country is showcased, with a selection of people-protagonists, events, and places, thus highlighting and complementing a living anthology. With music, stories, and images... With a revealing and sensitive gaze, with in-depth research rather than surface-level exploration, "GREEK ACTS" focuses on "unique" moments of human expression.
With a screenplay structured cinematically, each story, where the show focuses its lens, unfolds fully without "intermediaries", by the protagonists themselves, creating a documentary that "composes" the present with the past, the myth with history, where everyday people are the protagonists. Myths, history, time, people, and places harmoniously compose a complete set of creative expression. The direct and authentic documentation, by the genuine "bearer" and "expresser" of each story - rather than someone "interfering" - is the primary, inviolable rule guiding the research and realization.
Behind each documentary, there is extensive preparation. And the image eventually appearing on the small screen - the result of the efforts of the show's collaborators - constitutes a wholly original production, from the first to the last frame. In this year's journey from Crete to Evros and from the Ionian to the Aegean Sea, the show presents a feast of ethnographic, anthropological, and musical expression. Authentic creations of people and places.
The human, life, and its voice firsthand, the sounds, the images, the customs, and behaviors, the journey of rhythms, the history of dance "written step by step", the celebratory events, and every human endeavor, filmed in their natural and social context of action, at the moment of their authentic execution - and not through a fake representation - determine, create the form, style, and characterize the show.

Dowry was and perhaps still is a top issue for the family structure in human society. In rural communities, the question of dowry often determined – or even determines – the very constitution and creation of marriage. The lens of the show approaches three communities of Northwestern Greece, Aiani, Caesarea and Lefkopigi in the prefecture of Kozani, to seek and present the adventures of the people who, in earlier times, organized and realized the "marriage society" with "dowry". Times when the "dowry agreement" played an essential role in married life. In these communities of people, we will be surprised by the offer of dowry agreement from men to women and not the other way around, as is usually the case in most parts of Greece.
