To attack Greek Actors Association, unleashed by Konstantinos Markoulakis with your open letter to SEI. The well-known actor seems particularly upset by SEI’s announcement, after his appearance on Mega.
According to him, he was hung by pegs and he is deeply offended.
The full letter from Konstantinos Markoulakis to the Association of Greek Actors is as follows:
Colleagues,
I have read your announcement on February 20 and need to express to you publicly that I was deeply offended and deeply saddened.
I was offended that in the ad, without naming me, he is photographing me and pointing at me, which implies that, with my appearance on television, I participated in a coordinated effort, bordering on conspiracy, to cover up specific crimes and heinous people. without of course being valid or having the slightest proof.
I was offended because, although I have taken a very clear position, both in writing and orally, in favor of each victim and against any act of abuse by anyone, from the most unthinkable and abominable to the simplest verbal, you preferred hide this. position and present myself as a conspirator in an attempt to cover up.
I was offended because, practicing this art for 30 years, you know, and all colleagues can confirm it, that I have been a clean, upright and impeccable contributor. The appreciation and love of my colleagues for me is my greatest pride. And yet you, my union, have tried to portray me as morally perforated (and if I am in favor of the cover-up conspiracy, a window is opened to make it for others, worse).
I was offended that you didn’t even bother to call me to give you any explanation you might need. You preferred to point me, “hang me by the pegs”, ignoring the consequences this can have on my honor, my reputation and even my personal life as a parent of a child under 15 years of age.
I was offended because, although the main topic of the day is abuse, of all kinds and degrees, he does not seem to realize that with this act he abused and slandered a colleague, whose attitude was always on the opposite shore of any abuse.
By these, and many more, I was deeply offended.
I am sorry because, despite the reaction of many colleagues to your announcement, to date, two days later, you have not thought it would be correct to remember it. I hope that, after my letter, he will. The president himself said that my objective was a “small fault”. Probably one does not realize that these drops of “small faults”, which each of us can commit even unconsciously, are inadmissible by people interested in the predominance of morals and ethics in the theater. Drop by drop we’ll drown in the end
I regretted that, while I have already publicly praised the effort of the union, which has taken institutional measures, both for the complaints and for the new work environment that is to be created, you have chosen to treat your ally as an enemy.
I was sad because, in a great painful but at the same time hopeful moment, for the theater and Greek society, it seems that we, the theater people, have confused the longed-for LIQUIDATION for everyone with the LIQUIDATION of personal accounts. .
It saddened me because this very important fight, which can advance our society, if we are not careful, runs the risk of degenerating into a small civil war among us, into a war, with enemies and “our own children”. In this fight, however, there are no “our children.” Every victim of abuse is our child. Every person who defends this position, against fear, against any abuse, big or small, is also ours. The rivals, the enemies, are just the perpetrators.
Finally, I felt sorry for the theater itself. Complaints that come to light can only cause disgust in any healthy person. It’s great the moment they get the path of justice. All guilty must suffer the consequences of their actions and be punished as they deserve and as stipulated by law.
And yet, we all know, especially you, who have the full picture of official complaints, that we are not all like that. Most, many more, the great mass of theater artists are on the opposite shore from darkness, abuse, violence and disease.
Yes, colleagues, even in this unimaginably difficult time, when we are all faced with confusion and asceticism, especially now, I will continue to believe and remember that beauty prevails in the theater and its people. As much as we need purification and justice, I think, we also need this minimal memory.
In search of this beauty, people need theater. Looking for this beauty we become artists. This beauty will win in the end.
Sincerely,
Konstantinos Markoulakis
PS: As my letter is open and public, I consider it appropriate to mention, in any direction, but in no case addressed to you, that as of this morning I have already taken all legal measures to defend my honor and reputation, against anyone, anonymously or anonymously, public or private, try to offend them.
