In the center of the circle 18.8.2018
"In the center of the circle" - A documentary by Orpheas Perezis The documentary was filmed during a period of seven years starting in September 2007 until October 2015. During the time of the economical crisis, director Orpheas Perezis follwed with his camera the 35 members of the theatrical group "RODA", behind the scenes during summer performances in open theaters, but also during personal moments of the members off the stage. It is worth mentioning that none of the members of the group are professional actors and the theater is, for many people, a way to reach their character limits. As the director mentioned during the shiwing of the documentary in the Film Festival of Thessaloniki, he wanted to record everything he experienced in that group during those years. In the center lies the inner search of the members of " RODA" via the theater and the ecstasy created behind the scenes and on the stage during each performance. The documentary honours the power of the theater and how it can affect someone whi hopes to achieve something superior through art. In the meantime the written experiences of tje members which are presented in this documentary are a rare recording of a spiritual search in practical terms, all the while starting a conversation with philosophy, psychology and esotericism.
