Seventy two fifth-graders from the Mandoulides elementary school, Thessaloniki will travel to Turkey, where along with 17 students from the Zografeion Lyceum will take part in the musical-theatrical performance, A Magical City, based on a fairy-tale by Helen Priovolos
The performance will be held in the Zografeio Lyceum in Istanbul on March 21. It is a love story set in a beautiful port of Pontus, named Farmakea, where a young man, Kourkoumas, falls in love with a beautiful girl named Kanella.
The Zografeion Lyceum is one of the remaining open Greek schools in Istanbul, in the Beyoğlu district and very close to Taksim Square, which is considered to be the heart of the city. The school, like all minority schools in Turkey, is a secular school. In the years that followed its opening, it developed into a particularly active school and has always had more than 250 pupils.
