Praxi, 2017
HD, 11’
The ethnographic film Praxi follows a group of young Greek aspiring actors, determined to follow their dream. Every day, they come together in order to prepare themselves for the theatre school’s entry exam. For hours at a time, they listen to each other’s’ monologues, encourage each other to sing or they practice how they can free fall without getting hurt. Praxi focuses on several individuals to trace the shape and diversity of the greater group. They reflect on what theatre means to them. How do these lessons help them to grow as actors but also as people? And to what extent does the theatre provide them with a free space for self-expression?
Co-directors: Anne Lisa Mudde, Elli Siora, Emma Harris, Lotte van der Woude
