The Black Theater of Patras on the occasion of the Revolution of 1821, has developed mainly in open spaces a popular spectacle based on a complex text, consisting of the Dialogues of M. Chourmouzis and excerpts from other texts of the pre-revolutionary and revolutionary era, such as testimonies, prose etc. Our proposal elaborates all the documentary forms combining theater, music, shadow theater, lyric song.M. Chourmouzis's texts have a dynamic poetry while at the same time they are political manifestos aimed at anyone, Greek or foreign, who offends the principles of meritocracy, humanity, justice and of course the independence of the country, to which he devoted himself for a long time. young age . In the "Dialogues", published in the newspaper Epochi of Nafplio, the warrior's pen stylizes and names persons of public life, speaks openly against the new morals that are gradually introduced in the Bavarian court, satirizes those who embrace fashions and other western customs, recalls heroic days and faces of the struggle, while the politician can be seen who will not allow for any reason the rusfetti and the civil service attitude of life to develop. The coexistence of both different genres and styles, which will be based successively on lyric theater, theater, dance and shadow theater is the originality of our proposal, which was subsidized by the Ministry of Culture in 2020.
