Description
Specifications
Ballads are narrative poems from the Greek folk tradition, of immense literary, folkloric and theatre-historical interest. Their narratives are intensely dramatic, and their storytelling techniques display a remarkable theatrical economy. On the one hand, they retain the simplicity, precision and direct expressiveness of all folk songs; on the other, they demonstrate admirable technical completeness, with no gaps, tightly woven, fully realised sentences, artful roughness and precise characterisation, fast-paced action, frequent dialogue, conflict between opposing forces and many other “theatrical” features. These bring the listener or reader almost face to face with a theatrical “here and now”.
It is no wonder, then, that many playwrights drew inspiration from these ballads, among them N. Kazantzakis, Il. Voutieridis, Arg. Eftaliotis, F. Politis, G. Theotokas, Zach. Papantoniou and Pantelis Horn.
