Biography

edit

Early years

edit

Lampadaridou-Pothou was born in Myrina, Lemnos. From an early age, she developed an interest in literature. When she finished her elementary studies in Lemnos, she was appointed a clerk to the Provincial court of the island by written exams.[1] In 1959 she published her first poetry collection, Encounters.[2] Odysseus Elytis sent her a letter with his own positive review of the book, calling her a “fellow poet”.[3][4] While she worked, she took exams at the Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences in order to complete a degree by distance learning. In 1963 she received her degree and settled in Athens permanently.[5] Two years later she was granted a fellowship from the French Government to study Theatre at the Sorbonne University, Paris.[6]

Paris

edit

In September 1966, she traveled to Paris and settled at a student residence in the Quartier Latin. While she was there, she was introduced to the modern movements of Western philosophy, such as nihilism and the Theatre of the Absurd, as well as writers of existential agony, such as Albert Camus, Kafka, Samuel Beckett. The work of Beckett, especially, had a profound effect on her.[7] His 1967 play "Oh les beaux jours" staged at Odeon Theatre in Paris deeply influenced her to ask him for permission to translate it into Greek.[8] From then on they started a long lasting correspondence. She became a translator of his works but she also wrote an essay book titled “Samuel Beckett, The experience of the existential grief” which was published in 1983[9] with an important preface by Jacque Lacarrière[10] with good reviews[11] and republished updated in 2016 by Enastron Publishers.[12][13] Having received a scholarship at Sorbonne she attended Theatre lessons, it was then that she wrote her first absurd theatre play. Her poetic surrealistic play “Glass Box” translated in French by Ann Creushez, along with two other of her plays “Small Cage” and “The Rafts”, were pre-approved by Odeon Theatre.[14] Unfortunately, they were never staged because of the incidents of May 1969, in Paris. In June 1967 she received her diploma for Theatrical Studies[6] and returned to Greece. Later, her theatrical play The Glass Box impressed Samuel Beckett who sent it to his director Jean Lui Barreau.[15]

Years of dictatorship, the 70s

edit

Lampadaridou-Pothou was living still in Paris, when a military regime was established in Greece. It was then that she wrote her theatrical play Antigone - Or the nostalgia of tragedy. This play was particularly loved by the distinguished theatrologist Bernard Dort, who happened to be her professor at Sorbonne. In 1996 this play, translated in English by Minoas Pothos and Rhoda Kaufman, was staged in California State university, Hayward,[16][17][18] in parallel with the literary event of the Greek Culture week. Rhoda Kaufman also edited a collection of the writer's plays and poetry published under the name "A woman of Lemnos" by Guernica publications.[19] Minoas Pothos with Theony Condos also translated her novel Natalia and Christina published by Lume Books in 2016.[20]

When she returned to Greece in 1967, life was hard for her, as she was attending the demonstrations organised in support of Greece by the French philhellene Jacques Lacarrière. She did not hesitate to propose her work The Dance of Electra, a recently written allegorical depiction of the Greek junta, to the National Theatre. This work was at first rejected as “dangerous” but was finally staged at the New Stage of The National Theatre[21] after a lot of effort, with police custody. The play's music was composed by Stavros Xarhakos and the scenography was made by Dionysis Photopoulos.[22]

In 1972, Maria was married to Minoas Pothos and they had a son, Emmanuel in 1973.[1]

In 1973, she submitted her resignation to the Ministry and focused on her writing career.[1] In 1987 she was awarded by the Academy of Athens for her historical novel Maroula of Lemnos.[23][24] In 1989 she published one of her most important collections of poetry, Mystic Passage.[25] The book was translated into French and prefaced by Jacque Lacarrière[26] and published in France by Le Temps qu'il Fait in 1995.[27] Later, it was translated into Swedish, prefaced by Ingemar Rhedin and published by Bonniers in 1996[28] with good reviews.[29] In 2002, the Mystic Passage was translated into English by Theony Condos with a preface by Apostolos Athanassakis[30] and published in the New York university magazine, The Charioteer.[31][32]

Later years

edit

In 1973, she submitted her resignation to the Ministry in order to focus on her family and books.[1] In 1976 she experienced the loss of her second child.[33] Since then all her work has entered a metaphysical dimension and as quoted by her "she constantly searches for the truth and knowledge beyond conventional reality in order to achieve transcendence and discover the internal light".[1]

In 1982, when ERT president was Iakovos Kampanellis her collection of texts Letter to My Son and a Star was broadcast by NRT-1 and later on was published as a book. Letter to My Son and a Star was loved by the public both as a radio show and as a book.[34]

In 1995, she was awarded again by the Academy of Athens for her novel With the Storm Lamp.[35] This novel provided her with a different experience. Due to the fact that her hero had experienced time in prison, the writer had sent 200 copies to Korydallos prison, for the convicts. This move was so well received by prisoners that they invited her to give a lecture, an invitation that she gratefully accepted.[36]

In October 2017, the Municipality of Lemnos donated to her a hall named "Maria Lampadaridou Pothou" at a recently renovated mansion, to house her precious things of her work (awards, medals, letters of Elytis and Beckett, doctoral dissertations). She was also awarded the honorary medal of the Island of Lemnos by mayor Dimitrios Marinakis.[37]

In 2019, Maria's theatrical play titled Hector, Beloved by the Gods was staged at the Ancient theatre of Hephestia in Lemnos at the end of the international archeological conference on 15 September. The performance was realised by the theatrical group of MEAS LEMNOS with the support of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Lesvos.[39] It was her first play to be staged at the renovated Ancient theatre of Hephestia.[40]

On 17 July 2020, her historical novel The Wooden Wall was selected by the Permanent Representation of Greece to the EU for their “Readers of Europe reading list” initiative of the Council of the European Union. In the official post, among other things, it was written "The Wooden Wall offers inspiration in these trying times and reminds us of the timeless value of democratic principles."[41]

Among others it was written "‘The Wooden Wall’ offers inspiration in these trying times and reminds us of the timeless value of democratic principles. Ancient Greek literary works need no introduction. But modern Greek literature has also produced several masterpieces, not least the works of two Nobel Prize laureates – Giorgos Seferis and Odysseas Elytis."[41]

Over her career, she had written more than 20 novels and published poetry and theatrical plays. She has also published numerous articles, critical reviews, and essays, in literary journals and daily newspapers, “To Vima”, “Kathimerini”, “Eleftherotypia” for many years.[42] She has participated in many international conferences in Greece and abroad[43] as in 1988 in Buffalo NY, 1st International Women Playwrights conference,[44] where the writer in a general session had made an intervention[43] "I hear about the problems of each speaker, problems of their country or of their personal life, or social or sexual or color problems, and I understand that the problem describes the difficulty of being a playwright. I don’t hear about women’s dramatic creativity as an existential necessity. I don’t hear about the stuff of her plays, the stuff of her dreams, of her internal need to be a playwright in this troubled world." She has also participated in many literary events like in Berkeley. She was a member of the Hellenic Authors Society,[45] the Association of Greek Playwrights, and the International Institute of the Theatre.

Her theatrical plays that have been staged in Greece and abroad include A game with time, I am a weeping star, The rafts, The Glass Box..[46] The latter was also taught in Sorbonne by professor Charles Antonetti and was published in the magazine education et theatre.[47][48]
