... 3 Day Tribute to Cavafi - 3 nights of poetry, recitals, film and memoirs with Sculptor A. Papadoperaki talking about her work with Cavafi. Aladin Vaoumi was the inspiration behind this 3 day oral exhibition of Cavafi and his poetry. Members of the community, Aladin, Ricky, Judi and Nikos, and members of the Ithaki Theatre company, Tomi and Zaharoula, recited some of Cavafis poetry and it seemed that all who attended had an enjoyable night with poetry read in Greek, English and Arabic. Dimitris Danis, owner of Ores Gallery took on the role of translater for Ms. Papadoperaki and this would have been of great benefit for the English speaking locals of Ithaki. It was also wonderful to hear a language no one understood or spoke except for Aladin Vaoumi, who recited one of Cavafis poems in the language it was written. Mr. Vaoumi will be continuing the Cavafi tribute on Sunday night when he presents his knowledge of Cavafis' Alexandria years. Mr. Vaoumi who has personal knowledge of Alexandria will no doubt give us great insight into Cavafi and his time there.
