Statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, G. Katrougalos, during his visit to Notre Dame (Paris, 17 April 2019)
“I commiserate with everyone faced with this major disaster. Great churches, such as the Notre Dame or the Hagia Sophia, transcend religions, countries, even the civilisations that built them. They are a heritage that belongs to all humanity, to global civilization. More specifically, the Notre Dame is also an eternal symbol of France and of the city, from the 12th century until the 19th century, when the spire that collapsed was built.We are certain that it will be rebuilt in all its glory, as we have confidence in the solidarity of the entire world. The examples of support from ordinary people in Greece, who telephoned the French Embassy to express their support, are just a small sample of this solidarity from all sides.The Greek State, the Greek people stand in solidarity with the French people and the French Republic in their effort to restore the Notre Dame to its former glory”.

The Half God of Rainfall review – stunning standoff
Birmingham Rep Ellam’s poem about a basketball-star demi-god and his goddess-mother fighting celestial beings gets a stunning out on the stage The Half God of Rainfall tells the story of Demi, a Nigerian basketball hero and Olympic sportsman whose tears cause rivers to overflow. He is also the son of Zeus. But since that other half-god, Michael Jordan, flagrantly displayed his supernatural powers by actually flying on a court, the gods have outlawed half-men from participating in human sports. Here is a story about what happens when the ambition and desires of mortals come face-to-face with the caprices of celestial beings. Inua Ellams’ often striking poem, recently published in a handsome standalone volume, is a playful, epic contemporary retooling of Greek mythology. But still mythological, nonetheless. In Nancy Medina’s taut, stunning staging of Ellams’ words the epic is revealed to be much smaller. While still a story of feuding gods and journeys to the edge of the universe, its theatrical scale now feels plausibly, sometimes terrifyingly human. Its inherent violence no longer incidental metaphor, but structural and real. Continue reading...
