Karyofyllia Karampeti discusses gender violence and new theatrical production

Actress Karyofyllia Karampeti has addressed the pervasive nature of sexism and gender-based violence in contemporary society. In a recent interview, she highlighted the issue of femicide, noting that men across all social and economic strata sometimes resort to violence when women seek independence. Karampeti emphasized that the core of the problem lies in a perceived sense of dominance over women's lives and bodies.

Beyond extreme violence, the actress pointed out that sexism manifests in daily life through various forms of discrimination, including verbal abuse, online harassment, and wage gaps.

In connection to her current professional work, Karampeti is starring in a musical melodrama adaptation of Alexandros Papadiamantis’s ‘The Murderess’ (I Fonissa). The production is a co-production between the National Theatre of Greece and the Greek National Opera, featuring music by Giorgos Koumentakis and dramaturgy by Markellos Chryssikopoulos. The performances are scheduled to take place at the National Theatre's Central Stage in the Tsiller building.
