| Popis: | Devised theatre, the dominant trend in the independent Greek scene for more than a decade now, uses personal biographies and everyday experiences, cinema scenarios, novels, classical plays, as well as archives and documents of every sort as its starting point. The present paper focuses on the Blitz Theatre Group as emblematic of the “devised turn” in the Greek independent theatre scene. The group was formed in October 2004 by Angeliki Papoulia, Christos Passalis, and Giorgos Valais in Athens. Since their first work, Motherland (2006), Blitz have been constantly engaged with hybrid modes of narration which blur the boundaries between dialectical forms and monologues, literary sources and documentary materials. More specifically, the present paper analyzes the group’s latest productions, Cinemascope (2010) and Late Night (2012), because they exemplify the Blitz dramaturgy of Time.
