George Partsalakis<\/strong>
\n An actor from Chania<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cCivilization supports society and society supports civilization especially during these times of hardship that Greece lives through\u201d mentioned in an interview to \u201cIn-On\u2019 magazine, the actor from Chania, George Partsalakis.
\nTheatre \u2013he stressed- is a part of our civilization which covers the spiritual needs of the audience and gives answers to the problems of every period in time. The course of my stagecraft -he continued- has been determined by Alexis Minotis, Pellos Katselis and Aleka Katselis. George Partsalakis was born in 1951 in Kaloudiana-Kissamos in the prefecture of Chania in Crete.
\nHe moved to Athens in 1969 where he attended the Drama School of Pellos and Aleka Katselis. In 1973, he finished his studies and during the summer of the same year he worked for the first time in the classical theatre of Rhodes.
\nIn 1976 with the Theatre Association of Crete he played a part in \u201cPanoria\u201d by Chortatsis. However, a performance on Lycabetus that time was the reason why his acquaintance with Alexis Minotis commenced.
\nThe theatrical play that was put up on Lycabetus \u2013he said- with other colleagues triggered the interest of the great actors of that time, resulting in having Alexis Minotis (the director of the National Theatre), Manos Katrakis among others in the audience.
\n\u201cThis performance was my ticket for the National Theatre. I asked Alexis Minotis to work in the National Theatre and he replied that I had to wait to be informed. Actually, I did not have to wait long and in six months (October 1977) I was working by Alexis Minotis\u2019 side for 15 consecutive years serving all theatre forms\u201d, emphasized the Cretan actor.
\nThe first theatrical play in the National Theatre that I participated was entitled \u201cHourmouzis\u2019 servant\u201d. I have also participated in: \u201cPlutus\u201d by Aristophanes, in \u201cEcclesiazusae\u201d by Aristophanes, in \u201cOedipus at Colonus\u201d by Sophocles, (Alexis Minotis performed the role of Oedipus which was his last performance), in \u201cBacchae\u201d by Euripides, in \u201cPhoenician Women\u201d by Euripides, \u201cKing Lear\u201d by Shakespeare, \u201cFather\u201d by Strindberg, \u201cThe sonata of ghosts\u201d by Strindberg, \u201cExile\u201d by Matesis, \u201cMatch\u201d by Maniotis, \u201cStraw hat\u201d by Lambis, \u201cA hopeless tangle\u201d by Laskaris, \u201cThe murder of Maras\u201d by Peter Weiss, \u201cMidnight summer dream\u201d by Shakespeare, \u201cKnife in the bone\u201d by Mourselas, \u201cThe three sisters\u201d by Chekhov, \u201cRobbers\u201d by Schiller and the last performance by the National Theatre was in Herodium with the play \u201cThe Knights\u201d by Aristophanes, in the role of Paflagonas.
\nIn 1991, I quit the National Theatre and played with Katia Dandoulaki in \u201cDyonissia\u201d Theatre and since then this struggle goes on till today. In the summer of 2000, I returned to the National Theatre as Trygaeos in \u201cPeace\u201d by Aristophanes (Carolos Koun Prize Performance 2000).
\nSince 1973, I have participated in 80 theatrical plays.
\nGeorge Partsalakis started working on T.V in 1978 performing on the program \u201cTheatre on Monday\u201d, where he acted in plays such as the \u201c\u00c9migr\u00e9s\u201d by Brozek, and \u201cFon Demitrakis\u201d by D.Psathas (in the title role)
\nMore specifically, he clarified, in the Hellenic Broadcasting and Television I acted in \u201cHard Land\u201d and on the radio I participated in theatrical plays. Since 1989, I have participated in series for about 20 years, some of which were successful and others not so much. This season along with Peggy Trikalioti, Krateros Katsoulis and Jenny Theona, we are planning to put up a modern theatrical American drama that has to do with war correspondents. This will be realized in Athens in the \u201cAlpha\u201d Theatre.
\nIf I have to recall what theatre has offered to me in those 37 years of work, I can only think of good things since bad moments seem unimportant. I have worked honestly on T.V\u201d.<\/p>\n
