Biography

Takis Moschos (1952 – 29 April 2019) was a Greek stage, film and television actor. During his film career, Takis Moschos played many unconventional roles. For Greek standards, he was a "film actor" identified with revolutionary cinema. Together with actor Takis Spyridakis, he was the favorite collaborator of director Nikos Nikolaidis. In 1982, he took his first professional role in the film Angel by Giorgos Katakouzinos. A film that dealt with the issue of homosexuality in Greece, it caused a series of reactions even before it was shot and whose script was initially rejected by the Ministry of Culture. In 1983, his participation in Nikos Nikolaidis' film Sweet Gang, in the role of Argyris, created a sensation. The film won a total of ten awards. In 1985, his cinematic presence in the role of the poet Napoleon Lapathiotis in the film Meteor and Shadow was notable and Moschos won the Best Actor award. In the 1980s and 1990s, he took part in various theatrical performances throughout Greece, while also appearing in some television series. In July 2012, he participated in the performance of Sophocles' Antigone, at the Theater of the Ancient City of Epidaurus, as a member of the ASIPKA group in the role of Creon. His last theatrical appearance was in 2018, in the performance of the Kozani Municipal Theater of Romeo and Juliet, in the role of Father Lavrentios. In Skopelos, he had founded and directed a group of amateurs, the Skopelos Amateur Theater Group (ETHOS), with which he put on two performances a year and they toured there and the surrounding islands, like a pack.

This is a series of intersecting stories. A petty crook and former lover of a lazy ingénue steals the box-office receipts from the Odeon of Herodus Atticus, on the day an important football game is also taking place. There is also the story of the half-mad mother of the ingénue who refuses to put shoes on because she believes that shoes lead people astray. An eccentric grave-digger produces a two-seater coffin for couple-victims of car accidents. The film also tells the story of one of the Odeon's cleaning women and of a watermelon that goes all around the city, pursued by a tired theater technician and his sister, who is a tour guide. The impresario conducts an inquiry after the theft, but the thief and his two associates, the ingénue and the technician, use what was stolen to set up a small theatre. Small everyday stories and comic incidents combine to create a portrait of modern-day Athens.
