GREECE: Zorba The Greek - Teach me to dance
3/20/2009 1:26:25 PM
Modern Greek Dance Sirtaki
Music: Mikis Theodorakis
Book: Novel by Nikos Kazantzakis
SuperStar: Antony Quinn

Zorba is described as the living heart, a large voracious mouth, a great brute soul, not yet severed from mother earth. The novel can be perceived as a vaccine against metaphysical thinking and it describes the contrast introduced by Friedrich Nietzsche between the Apollonian spirit of order and rationalityand the Dionysian outlook on life, and the Dionysian spirit which Zorba represents, the ecstatic, spontaneous will to live.

The movie won three Academy Awards. Lila Kedrova won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, Vassilis Fotopoulos won the Oscar for Best Art Direction in black-and-white set decoration, and Walter Lassally won the Oscar for Best Cinematography in black-and-white. Lassally's Oscar is shown in Tavern Christiana in Stavros.

Thank you Geogios!   I love this music and the movie Zorba The Greek.

Georgios....I hope you don't take offense.  I just found this light-hearted video.  They have done a "re-invention" of the music.  It is rather amazing what they can do with animation. I hope you like it. 

Hugs to you my friend,

Pat

Hmmm! Patricia!

This is special for you:
Greece is a Dream!

Thank you for the clip. Hey this is very nice and funny. I have not seen this before.

You wrote ith the topic aboput Mikis Theodorakis that you did not know anything about him. You see "Zorba the Greek" is his music.
