“He deceived us”, the Minister of Culture, Lina Mendoni, publicly confessed to the “dangerous”, as described by Dimitris Lignadis, former artistic director of the National Theater, perhaps the most important public organization for theater education. But how can an art director fool a Kojam minister who even put him in that position? The bottom is rich …
With the first very serious complaints against Mr Lignadis, the minister calls him into her office, but no announcement is made. Without hesitation she asked him what exactly was happening, because the theater and people in general have been full of unheard of complaints. She specifically asked him if these allegations of rape, etc. they were true.
Mr. Lignadis remained imperturbable and repeated almost stereotypes “I have nothing to do with them”, or “everything that is heard does not concern me”, or even that those rumors about Lignadis are not true, they are false and that soon those that the traffic of them will be responsible before the Justice “.
The minister was impressed, he told me, by two things: first, his hypocrisy and second, his theatricality: “It was as if he was doing theater, he was deceiving me,” he said.
In fact, at some point, Mrs. Mendoni told him that it is not only the complaints that come from the Theater, it is also the complaints of other people who also complain about incredible things. Here, he said, there is talk of criminal acts, with Lignadis responding: “Believe me, I want you to trust me and support me, nothing happens that they accuse me of” …
He was constantly doing theater and even a leading role as if he was on the board at the time. It was so theatrical, Ms. Mendoni told me, that it could fool many, even ministers.
Now things are changing. The replacement for Mr. Lignadis will be appointed in September, but after a competition (ie there will be examinations for the position of artistic director of the National Theater). In addition, a national arts education plan and a Code of Conduct for artists on how they should behave in the art world are being developed.
“I did not fool anyone”
Dimitris Lignadis gave his own response to everything he has been accused of in recent weeks, via the main MEGA newsletter.
In a milder tone than his first reaction to Lina Mendoni’s statements, Mr. Lignadis responded to the Minister of Culture that “if he made this statement for me, I have to answer that the danger of a man in his life, and much more at work, history and institutions will judge it. “
