ATLAS E.P. invites you to watch the music theatre production "The Loser", based on the novel of the same title by distinguished Austrian author Thomas Bernhard, translated by Vassilis Tomanas and directed Ektoras Lygizos.

Written in 1983 in the author’s well-known serpentine style, the novel Der Untergeher marked the German-speaking literature of the second half of the 20th century. The theatrical adaptation, based on Vassilis Tomanas’ translation, transforms the monologic narration of the original into a music-theatre piece for four voices and piano.

The legendary Canadian pianist Glenn Gould and two Austrian former classmates of his who went through life as failed pianists, Bach’s Goldberg Variations, the foyer of an abandoned hotel in Central Europe, and its owner, all compose a peculiar "oral musical" about genius, obsession and frustration.

The performance features a cast of distinguished actors: Aris Balis performs as the "failed" Wertheimer, Yiannis Niarros as Glenn Gould, Amalia Moutousi as the hotelier, and Ektoras Lygizos as the narrator.
