A man dreams that he wins ten million in the Joker lottery and announces it to his wife, his daughter and his best friend, who treat him as though he had really won. A few days later, he disappears with… ten million and changes everyone’s lives. Until he returns and turns everything upside down.
Two friends, a family, a Joker lottery ticket, a few million, one lie and many truths. A man in the prime of his life learns that his new enemy is his memory. How will he react to this great threat?
“Half of Zero, beyond being an imaginative title for a play, serves as a symbol of absence, emptiness, lack and loneliness. On a multifaceted, multilayered canvas, human relationships are woven together, revealing needs, dependencies, secrets and disappointments. […] It evokes the non-existent. Yet it acquires a particular dramatic weight when connected to human experience and existence,” says Giorgos Kiourtsidis, director of the play’s first production.
Playwrights Antonis and Konstantinos Koufalis write in the afterword to this edition: “Half of Zero brings out the virtues of Minas Vindiadis’s mind, fully developed and still unfolding. The clear language comes to life like a Greek lesson aligned with the perfect theatrical form. What’s more, the absence of profanity—which today forms the foundation and sole substance of many contemporary Greek plays—allows the work to ring out clearly, with the sounds of lives lost in dreary offices and quaint dreams. The text’s rhythm never flags. At every turn in the characters’ journey, Minas Vindiadis has a new twist in store for the reader and spectator, one that sets the action in motion and transforms the dialogue into an experience. […] Above all, however, the writer offers a fully realized protagonist, portrays the modern person’s utter disillusionment and gives Greek theatre a complete work.”
And the author adds: “I want audiences leaving the performance to be sure of one thing: the mind may forget, but the heart always remembers…”
