Murderess (Fonissa) – Ottawa
Mayfair Theatre, 1074 Bank St, Ottawa, ON K1S 3X3, Canada
Description
Murderess (Fonissa)
Set against the hauntingly beautiful backdrop of a remote Greek island around 1900, “Fonissa” (Murderess) unravels a powerful drama that dives deep into the human psyche and societal norms.
This gripping tale is based on Alexandros Papadiamantis’s classic novel, bringing to life the harrowing story of Hadoula, a woman entangled in the oppressive webs of a patriarchal society.
Hadoula’s life has been shaped by rejection and struggle, starting with her own mother. Living in a world that dictates a woman’s worth by rigid, patriarchal standards, Hadoula’s internal rebellion simmers until it can no longer be contained.
In a desperate bid for control and a twisted sense of justice, she turns to murder, targeting the little girls of her island community.
The Keepers of Manari (Short film)
Once a large farming community, Manari is now home to only eleven people who are all in their eighties and nineties. Though Manari has been the place they have cherished for decades, today they find themselves at a difficult crossroads. Who will take care of the village after they are gone?
