Behind the Curtain: Nikos Kourkoulos

Synopsis

In this episode of the documentary series *Paraskinio*, we watch a tribute to actor Nikos Kourkoulos. The episode includes an extensive excerpt from the rehearsals of the play *Invitation to the Castle* by Jean Anouilh, which was staged during the 1978–1979 season at the Kappa Theatre, starring Nikos Kourkoulos and Katia Dandoulaki. The camera follows Katia Dandoulaki and Nikos Kourkoulos on stage, as he performs two roles — twin brothers — in a characteristic scene from the play where one character seamlessly follows the other.
