Mami

At 26 years of age, Mario Banushi has already cemented his place as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary theatre. With MAMI, the Albanian-born director, hailed as a "wunderkind" of Greek theatre, brings his deeply personal and visually striking storytelling to the stage of Stegi.

This groundbreaking performance is a tribute to the women who nurture us—a visual poem that unravels the complex, tender, and often bittersweet ties between mother and child. Inspired by Banushi’s own upbringing, MAMI blurs the lines between memory and mythology, creating a world that feels both deeply familiar and hauntingly surreal.

Through moments of silence and profound emotion, Banushi invites audiences to confront their own memories, relationships, and the weight of the emotional legacies they carry. The stage transforms into a shrine, filled with vows, curses, and the visceral connection between life and its roots.

A must-see for anyone seeking innovative theatre that speaks directly to the heart, MAMI celebrates the universal experience of care, love, and the eternal question: who nurtures whom? Don’t miss this captivating performance at one of Athens’ most avant-garde venues.
