Anna Menenakos: “We were trying to warn Sakis Rouvas so that no cockroach would come up on him”

‘ I lift my head and see roaches going up and down on the pillar,” said Anna Menenakos this morning (25.09.2024) on the show “Morning in sight”. “In 2013 we make a very long tour of Euripides’ Bacch tragedy and play in a scene that is high, about two meters up, in a very nice forest. In a very large part of the work they opened and turned off the lights so that the stage could change and become the atmospheres. So there was blackout, terrible darkness, nothing. So in the dark, we run each one where I had to, and my mark was that there was always a suitcase there to catch, to be able to place my body and turn on the lights,” the actress explained initially. “So I get worn in the dark, I run, I go get the suitcase, I don’t get it, and I get to walk away from the stage and fall down two meters. I feel terrible pain but at that time the instinct works and I get up. The very funny thing was that I couldn’t reach the scene, there was just a little head that was trying to touch with the hand shaking,” he said. “In the same performance we played in Chania and had a wooden pillar of PPC, where there was the beginning of the work with Dionysus played by Sakis Rouvas going up and down. There was a choric where Sakis sat on the pillar and we around him, the Bacchas, made our choric. At some point I raise my head, as obviously the other girls do and I see cockroaches rising up and down on the pillar,” revealed Anna Menenaku in the second whim that happened to her on the stage. “We were trying strongly to make it known to Sakis, to be careful not to lean too far back so no one would climb on him, but then… the cockroaches continued,” he said. “They started walking on stage, we were wearing umbrellas so we had a strong shoe and, where we made the body like Bacchas, we suddenly started pressing the cockroaches so that we could leave,” she completed her incredible story Anna Menenaku.
