When Michael Cacoyannis asked MikisTheodorakis in 1963 to write music for the film “Zorba the Greek”, no one could predict that the central theme would excellently match the lead character, becoming more popular than both the novel and the film. Today, the iconic composer’s ballet suite of the same name brings together three leading creators, Kazantzakis, Michael Cacoyannis and Theodorakis, three rivers flowing into the same Cretan beach where Zorbas dances the famous syrtaki and teaches the mysteries of life as an authentic representative of the Greek soul.
