Oh. My. God.

“2,” Athens’s latest everyone-is-talking-about-it stage production, choreographed by Dimitris Papaioannou (the genius behind the magnificent opening ceremony of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games) is inimitable. Showing at the recently renovated Pallas Theater (5 Voukourestiou Street, +30-210-321-3100), “2” is the kind of production one might see at any of the finest theaters in London, New York, or San Francisco.

Delving into issues surrounding male identity, sexuality, and relationships to everything from work and women to self without so much as one line of dialogue, “2″ resonates with a broad audience on a visceral and intellectual level, and has drawn packed houses every night.

To obtain a ticket, go to Ticket Shop and see “2″ advertised on the home page. Scroll down a bit and click on “Δείτε ή κατεβάστε το video (2,35MB),” written in red, to see a montage from the production. Click on “ΣΧΕΔΙΑΓΡΑΜΜΑ (τμήματα – τιμές),” also in red, to see seating options and prices. We highly recommend splurging and buying a ticket close to the stage. Tickets begin at €10 and top out at €100.

Due to its popularity, “2” has been held over. It is currently scheduled to run through March 4.
