The members of the Port Adelaide Greek Orthodox Community of SA launched a series of events to honour and commemorate the 200-year-anniversary of the commencement of the Greek War of Independence with a moving theatrical performance based on one of the written stories of Dionysios Solomos, the national poet of Greece, as well as through poetry readings, traditional singing and dance performances.
The play, titled the “Women of Mesolongi” was held last Sunday at the Woodville Town Hall in front of a crowd of 300 people and dignitaries including SA Bishop Silouan of Sinope, Consul General of Greece in Adelaide Giorgios Psiahas, Mayor of Port Adelaide Claire Boan.
