The play “Neither Forward nor Back” is a hilarious reflection of modern Greek reality, with music and songs, which satirizes the here and now. What happens in our homes, on the streets, in the squares, on television, on social media. What unites us and what divides us as Modern Greeks, with a quick, inspectional look, on the edge of a razor. Pieces and fragments of life and stories of everyday madness like brief flashes that condense what despairs us and what gives us hope. Seven wonderful comic actors, constantly changing roles in order to create, within an hour and a half and eleven short sketches, a galaxy of faces that resemble us and often irritate us, but we love them. The heroes of the play are us, our neighbors, our relatives, our friends and our colleagues. Or rather not us exactly, but our caricatures! The performance “Neither Forward nor Back” is the selfie of a society blurred by the dizzying speed of developments, in society, in technology, in politics.
