UC Drama Presents: IPHIGENEIA x2

Date: April 1st, 2nd and 3rd
Time: 7pm.
Location: 75 St. George st. (Morrison Hall Basement, LCR)
Cost: Free

My name is Alicia Aliki Kapudag, and I’m a Greek student at UC. I’m in the UC Drama program and wanted to inform you guys and invite you to come watch our Greek Tradegy- Iphigeneia (x2) by Euripides.  This is an important end of year recital for the drama program students, and we have put a lot of work behind the dramaturgy to make it as Greek influenced as possible. I will be performing a section in modern Greek, so this might be a wonderful opportunity for the students of the Greek association.

Synopsis: As their year-end recital, the DRM300 classes will be presenting ”Iphigeneia x 2″ – streamlined versions of Euripides’ two plays about Agamemnon’s ill-fated daughter. One is PRE-Trojan War, a tragedy in which the many opportunities to prevent the tragic outcome are consistently missed … and the other is POST-Trojan War, a tragi-comedy or romance similar in spirit to Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale” or “The Tempest”, or to Euripides’ own “Helen” or ”Alcestis”.

Insight to Hellenism Recap

On Friday March 4th and Saturday March 5th the Youth Network of the World Council of Hellenes Abroad (ΣΑΕ) for the Region of Canada and the Hellenic Student Associations of Universities in Toronto (University of Toronto – GSA, York University – HSΑ and Ryerson University – ΣΕΦ) held the Insight to Hellenism event. It was a HUGE success! It was held at the University of Toronto as a series of lectures on the current topics and issues concerning Greece today. The main objective of the series was to better inform the participants as well as provide them with an understanding of the Macedonian name issue, the Cyprus problem and with an in depth look into the current economic crisis in Greece.

Tsiknopempti 2011

Date: Thursday February 24th, 2011
Location: Whistler’s Grille (995 Broadview Ave.)
Time: 8:30pm until close
Cost: Members: $5, Non-Members: $15

Join the Greek Students’ Association along with the UTSC GSA and the HSA’s at York and Ryerson for Tsiknopempti! Tsiknopempti is an annual tradition in Greece, which has gained increasing popularity recently in light of Apokries, whose origin is lost through the centuries. It is a day of meat eating before lent and fasting begins.

The word Tsiknopempti comes from two words, ‘tsikna’ (the smell of burnt and grilled meat) and ‘Pempti’ (Thursday in Greek) and is celebrated on a Thursday, 11 days before Clean Monday. Traditionally, everyone must cook meat so that the smoke fills the air and everybody knows it’s a feast-day.

This is an all ages and exclusive event for UofT, York and Ryerson HSA and GSA members. Food and Liquor will be provided. Also, there will be live music and DJ Kypreos. This is a great opportunity to meet other Greeks from across Toronto.
