PROCEEDING CONGRUOUSLY

NAME: NEFELI ANTONOPOULOU

AGE: 28

PLACE OF RESIDENCE: DOWNTOWN ATHENS

BIRTHPLACE: ATHENS

ORIGIN: KALYMNOS


ON THE NIGHT OF THE PERFORMANCE SHE WILL WALK FROM HER HOME TO THE SUBWAY STATION AGIOS IOANNIS, GET ON THE RED LINE TO AKROPOLIS AND FROM THERE WALK AGAIN TO THE HERODEION.



Nefeli went to a private school and later studied English Literature at the University of Athens.

In September of 2007 she went to Guilin (southern China) where she taught English to the local citizens (from 4-year-olds to businessmen). Currently she works as a project manager at the "European Captioning Institute"(subtitling company).

"One thing I can do really well is learning foreign languages: I speak English, German, French and Chinese".
Last year she travelled to Berlin and Egypt and whenever she has the chance she packs her bags and leaves her country (a.o. Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam): "I like to 'live' the places I go to, not only see them. It's a wish-fullfilling procedure". Furthermore she takes a picture of every bed she's ever slept in.

She likes to read ancient drama and Medea is her favourite character : "I don't identify with her, I'm aware of her madness that goes beyond the norm, but she's an impressive character. The fact that she goes unpunished is astonishing".
From the Prometheus - text she identifies with Hephaistos" who may be acting with half a heart, but knows and considers both sides' arguments".
