The expert Yorgos Karamihos

Yorgos Karamihos is an actor, director and acting professor as well as father of two children. Born and raised in Greece he lives in Los Angeles and spends big chunks of the year in Europe filming. He graduated the history department of the Ionian University in Corfu and the Greek National Theatre Acting Academy in Athens. He also received a Fulbright scholarship as an exceptional artist and studied at the Stella Adler Academy for Theatre and Acting in Los Angeles where later on he accepted the invitation to become a member of its faculty teaching his own technique based on Ancient Greek tragedy and comedy. He has worked as an actor in more that 50 theatre productions and 30 films as well as in more than a dozen of TV series. He currently appears as a regular character in The Durrells (ITV/PBS) and his recent works include Ben Her, NCIS Love is… etc.

Running in Filopappou park and Pnix right underneath and across from Acropolis hill in the center of Athens might sound picturesque but it is much more than that. First of all I need to explain that I am not a professional runner, to be honest I just started running a couple of years ago. Some twenty years ago I had two back surgeries trying to rescue a slipping disk and the doctors had forbidden me to run, horse ride, sword fight, any sort of weight lifting including lifting my own kids or suitcase and any action that involved “extreme” muscular use apart from swimming. And all that for the rest of my life. It was obvious doctors were not good for me. So after a few years of dealing with pain and fear and after having tried all the alternative healing techniques such as Reiki, Aura Soma, Pilates, Fascia, Kinesiology, Dreaming and Wishing I started doing again all those things that I was born and used to do before the surgeries. My last achievement was running. Not much and not long. I do between 8 and 15 Kilometers between 5 and 10 times per month.

Back to Filopappou Park in Acropolis, Athens… Running in such a spiritual and historically important place is the ultimate pleasure and inner journey. Knowing that Socrates, Plato and Aristotle used to wander about these hills exploring the dynamics of art, love, science and emotions becomes a nice boost and inspiration for your trip. And what a view! Your eyes can’t get enough of the diversity of images and senses. The vegetation in the park is exquisite including indigenous plants such as olive, pine and cypress trees and others that were brought from Germany by king Otto after the liberation from the Ottoman empire. The view is beyond stunning. Parthenon on the top of Acropolis hill stands like a gorgeous time-worn white knight guarding the immense city of Athens that lies underneath with the ugly grey buildings playing games with their beautiful relatives, the classic and modern architectural achievements hand in hand with some colorful houses with blossoming gardens. On the south side of the park the Aegean Sea promises beautiful sunset shades of blue, purple and red. The islands of Aegina, Agistri and Salamis are floating still looking sometimes like paradise lands and others like melancholic Ophelias. And the time runs faster than you. You can only keep on transferring your body’s weight from one leg to the other and letting your senses absorb the impressions of a blessed landscape. Running becomes emotional landscaping.

The City The Most Exciting City in the World

I feel blessed and lucky to have been born and raised in a south suburb of Athens, a 100m from the sea. My memories are careless, full of sun and happiness; diving in the blue water of the Athenian coastline from May till October, riding the bicycle and hanging out with my friends in the safe streets of our suburb and enjoying the hospitality of the neighbors. We all knew each other and doors were always open. Since then a lot has changed, but a lot has remained the same. The sea is still as beautiful and inviting as it was back then. The hospitality and the carelessness are still strong elements of the Greek culture. The bright, warm sun still greets you most mornings of the year. Since then I have definitely changed. I started seeing Athens for the city it really is. A city where chaos can be overwhelming but keeps you always alert and interested, like a lover. Its beauty is hidden, one must look beyond the obvious. Its contradictions make it unconventional. Athens is not apologetic. Has no problem showing its unpolished side, Athens is proud of its troubled recent history. The old and the new, the ugly and the beautiful, the oriental and the western, the folklore and the contemporary all blend together in a unique way. All under the Athenian sun, all protected by the goddess Athena. Afterall Athens is a strong Greek headed woman. My favorite routine in Athens is to walk from Syntagma Square to the bottom of the Acropolis Hill, through the little streets of Plaka and passed the Acropolis Museum, just under the Parthenon. That’s where I dream, where I get my inspiration and my strength. Strolling in the center of Athens is a treat to the senses. Streets are busy, coffee shops are full of people, music is loud, delicious street food can be found in every other corner, the spice market adds an oriental touch, graffiti everywhere, naïve tourists looking lost, locals having a beer under the sun, business men with suits running to fit everything in their schedu-

les, mothers with babies strolling peacefully. Athens is very democratic in a way, everything is accessible. It kind of makes sense, since Democracy was born here. All I need is my curiosity, my senses to be alert and an open mind. To enjoy Athens I let go of my preconceptions and pre manufactured ideas. To enjoy Athens the most I climb the rock of Acropolis at sunset, walk around the Parthenon, sit on the ancient marbles and take a long breath in. It is a lot to digest. But somehow, Athens looks beautiful from up there, life seems simple and I feel full of power and thirst for life!

The City The Most Exciting City in the World

A veces pienso que mi verdadero concepto de igualdad social consiste en que el máximo porcentaje de personas viva rodeada de belleza interesante. Según esa idea, la capital más igualitaria del mundo es Berlín. He podido ver cómo discurre gente de todo tipo, desde coleccionistas de arte millonarios a operarios de mi taller y estudiantes…y me ha llamado la atención que casi todos veían belleza desde que se levantaban hasta que se acostaban. Ventanas a patios sugerentes, portales con personalidad, caminos al trabajo por parques, agua en todos los formatos, estanques, ríos, canales, y arte por todas las esquinas. No soy objetivo, es mi tipo de belleza. Formé parte de la generación de artistas que convirtió Berlín en una galería de arte al aire libre y me siento en casa pedaleando, corriendo o andando por cualquiera de sus rincones. La ciudad tiene tal cantidad de ideas en su atmosfera que monumentaliza como ninguna. El peso infinito de la historia y su contundencia convierten dos ladrillos colocados con criterio en una declaración ética y estética. Todo tiene un significado profundo, pero desde que Christo y Jeanne Claude envolvieran con tela el Reichstag en 1995 la ciudad apostó como ninguna antes por el arte contemporáneo. En los cafés, en los patios-los höffe son posiblemente los sitios más fascinantes de Berlin-en las aceras o las ruinas asoman instalaciones, literatura, pintura, escultura, cine y música que mezclan el recuerdo “Denkmal” con el futuro más radical. Berlin tiene todo lo que a mí me hace feliz. Ese carácter de ciudad en proceso, en la que hay mucho por hacer y abierta a la participación de cualquiera que quiera formar parte de él. En algunos sentidos es el Nueva York de Europa. Por un lado la ciudad tiene una identidad fortísima y por otro cada distrito está concebido como un todo, con su ayuntamiento, sus mercados, museos, monumentos y orgullo. Los artistas van buscando los precios razonables

rotando de distrito, de forma que una vez se pone de moda hay que descubrir el siguiente “place to be”. Se encuentra grandeza en tal cantidad de barrios….eso si no abrimos la mano e incluimos la infinidad de bosques y lagos que rodean la ciudad. Cada año se editan números especiales de revistas para descubrir los mejores lugares para un baño solitario en plena naturaleza. Se puede saltar a un “SBahn” con la bici y en media hora estar nadando fuera de este mundo.

Sometimes I think that my true concept of social equality is that the maximum percentage of people live surrounded by interesting beauty. According to this idea, the most egalitarian capital of the world is Berlin. I have been able to see how people of all types, from millionaire art collectors to workshop workers and students ... I have noticed that almost everyone saw beauty from the time they got up until they went to bed. Windows to suggestive patios, portals with personality, paths to work by parks, water in all formats, ponds, rivers, canals, and art from all corners. I’m not objective, it’s my kind of beauty. I was part of the generation of artists who made Berlin an outdoor art gallery and I feel at home pedaling, running or walking through any of its corners. The city has such a number of ideas in its atmosphere that monuments as none. The infinite weight of history and its forcefulness make two bricks placed with criteria in an ethical and aesthetic statement. Everything has a deep meaning, but since Christo and Jeanne Claude wrapped cloth in the Reichstag in 1995 the city bet like none before by contemporary art. In the cafés, in the courtyards - the höffe are possibly the most fascinating places of Berlin - on the sidewalks or the ruins appear installations, literature, painting, sculpture, cinema and music that mix the memory “Denkmal” with the most radical future. Berlin has everything that makes me happy. That character of a city in process, in which there is much to do and open to the participation of anyone who wants to be part of it. In some ways it is the New York of Europe. On the one hand the city has a very strong identity and on the other, each district is conceived as a whole, with its town hall, its markets, museums, monuments and pride. Artists are looking for reaso-

And even though Volkspark Friedrichshain in a way offers the whole diversity a park could offer as well, it is one of my safe havens. When I go for a run here in the mornings I pass the other runners, that stop to do their pullups or pushups. I see the dog owners, slackliners and the parents pushing the buggies towards the playgrounds, while admiring each others’ offspring. But my favourite part is to run up the „großen Brunckerberg“. The Bunckerberg is the highest elevation in Friedrichshain. Under the abrasive cobblestones, which lead you up to the top, lies the remnants of the two flak towers of Friedrichshain. Today nothing would remind you of them due to the big trees growing on the Bunckerberg. When I run up that hill, it can happen that for a moment I forget that I am in the city because all you see are those trees. It is especially beautiful in the fall, when the leaves are colored and fall down on the path. Only on the top of Bunckerberg you are reminded that you are in the middle of one of the most exciting cities of Europe by the view over the park and the Fernsehturm. When I run back down the path, step by step back into the realities of the city, passing the fairytale fountain and noticing the yellow tram next to the park, I can feel every time how I am reconciled with the city and all its faces again.

When I started running 10 years ago I was still living in a small town on the country side and my runs would lead me through the forest, passing apple trees and along the river. Now I live in Berlin and from time to time I miss that river. Berlin is everything, all the time. For me there is no city that confronts you more relentlessly with diversity and that in so many ways and situations. And this is also what I love most about the city. One of my good friends here who is from Egypt once said to me that He loves it because he doesn’t feel like a minority because everyone is a minority in Berlin. And it is true. Berlin allows you to be whoever you want to be. However, it is not what I would call a nice or beautiful city. Instead it is loud and overwhelming and unsparingly honest. I you don’t search for your private safe havens within the city every once in a while, it can easily become too much.

The City The Most Exciting City in the World

I remember as a teenager during a lazy L.A. summer some friends and I attempted to see if we could drive to the beach, the desert and the mountains all in one day. We did it with time to spare and rewarded ourselves with a midnight burrito. Where else can you do that? For years I’ve tried to leave L.A. and set up camp in a new city and a few times in a new country but there is always something that brings me back or keeps me put. It could be for work, the possibility of romance or just the comfort of easy living. I think I will always be drawn to it and I should give up trying to escape. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t born in L.A. just so I can experience it new, with fresh eyes. I want to feel that sense of endless potential that I get from recent transplants or that feeling of gratitude for the amazing weather. I want to see what people see when they say -This place is ridiculous. There is a cliché about Los Angeles not having a city center and it’s true. L.A. has no point of entry, it doesn’t welcome you with open arms, it doesn’t tell you where to start and it doesn’t owe you anything. It’s fairly rare to simply stumble onto something, someplace or someone. You have to be intrepid and diligent, you have to make the effort and get out there. Mostly you also have to stay loose and adventurous enough to enjoy the randomness and variety it throws at you because there’s a lot of it. When you visit or decide to move here just remember that all of the stereotypes are true. But what did you expect? That’s what makes it great. It’s glamorous and dirty all at the same time. It’s elegantly cheap and trashy. It keeps it real in how fake it is and adamant about its contradictions. It has a short memory and will reward you greatly if you deserve it but mostly when you don’t. It’s

frustrating and it’s sometimes mean. But it will always be there, relaxing in the sun with or without you – just taking it easy. I think a friend of mine summed it up for me when she said “I hate that I love it here.”

The expert Yorgos Karamihos Actor, director and acting professor as well as father of two children. Born and raised in Greece he lives in Los Angeles and spends big chunks of the year in Europe filming. He graduated the history department of the Ionian University in Corfu and the Greek National Theatre Acting Academy in Athens. He also received a Fulbright scholarship as an exceptional artist and studied at the Stella Adler Academy for Theatre and Acting in Los Angeles where later on he accepted the invitation to become a member of its faculty teaching his own technique based on Ancient Greek tragedy and comedy. He has worked as an actor in more that 50 theatre productions and 30 films as well as in more than a dozen of TV series. He currently appears as a regular character in The Durrells (ITV/PBS) and his recent works include Ben Her, NCIS Love is… etc.

Running in Griffith Park in the heart of Los Angeles might sound glamorous but it’s actually much more than that. First of all I need to explain that I am not a professional runner, to be honest I just started running a couple of years ago. Some twenty years ago I had two back surgeries trying to rescue a slipping disk and the doctors had forbidden me to run, horse ride, sword fight, any sort of weight lifting including lifting my own kids or suitcase and any action that involved “extreme” muscular use apart from swimming. And all that for the rest of my life. It was obvious doctors were not good for me. So after a few years of dealing with pain and fear and after having tried all the alternative healing techniques such as Reiki, Aura Soma, Pilates, Fascia, Kinesiology, Dreaming and Wishing I started doing again all those things that I was born and used to do before the surgeries. My last achievement was running. Not much and not long. I do between 8 and 15 Kilometers between 5 and 10 times per month. Back to Griffith Park… The first thing you realize facing the

park is that running will not be easy. The slopes of Hollywood Hills can become quite slippery especially during summer time when dry dirt and gravel love to play games with your running shoes. In some cases they are so steep that you have to grab branches or roots of trees and bushes if you don’t want to roll all the way back to the safe playground of the park’s entrance. You also have to be very careful not to get lost. It sounds strange how could anyone get lost in the center of a big city but Griffith park is very big and the uneven mountain and hills create perplexing illusions. I got lost once and fortunately enough my dog that run by my side had more trained nose and instincts than me and after an hour of wandering in the unknown he led us back to the roots of the mountain. Once you overcome the initial obstacles, all the rest is pleasure. Your eyes can’t get enough of the diversity of images and senses. The flora and fauna in the park is exquisite including plants familiar and completely unknown to a European eye, temperamental animals that need some extra attention such as deer, coyotes, hummingbirds, possums, predator birds and rattlesnakes. The view is beyond stunning. The observatory on the top of the hills stands like a gorgeous white round knight guarding the immense city of Los Angeles that lies underneath with the tall skyscrapers, colorful buildings and gardens full of flowers and quite extreme some times decoration and on the west side the Pacific Ocean promises beautiful sunsets. And the time runs faster than you. You can only keep on transferring your body’s weight from one leg to the other and letting your senses absorb the impressions of a blessed landscape. Running becomes emotional landscaping. kiosk next to the Fred Lebow statue at the East 90th Street entrance. Lebow, a runner and longtime president of the New York Road Runners club, founded the New York City marathon and last ran it in 1992, in celebration of his 60th birthday, after he had been diagnosed with brain cancer. He died in 1994.

Correr en Griffith Park en el corazón de Los Ángeles puede sonar glamoroso, pero en realidad es mucho más que eso. En primer lugar tengo que explicar que no soy un corredor profesional, para ser honesto, sólo empecé a correr un par de años atrás. Hace unos veinte años tuve dos cirugías en la espalda tratando de rescatar un disco resbalando y los doctores me prohibieron correr, montar a caballo, luchar con espadas, levantar peso, incluso levantar mis propios niños o una maleta y cualquier acción que implicara “extrema” muscular además de la natación. Y todo eso por el resto de mi vida. Era obvio que los doctores no eran buenos para mí. Así que después de unos años de tratar con el dolor y el miedo y después de haber intentado todas las técnicas alternativas de curación como Reiki, Aura Soma, Pilates, Fascia, Kinesiology, Dreaming y Wishing Comencé a hacer de nuevo todas esas cosas que nací y solía hacer antes de las cirugías. Mi último logro estaba corriendo. No mucho y no mucho. Lo hago entre 8 y 15 kilómetros entre 5 y 10 veces por mes.

Lo primero que te das cuenta de que el parque es que correr no será fácil. Las laderas de Hollywood Hills pueden volverse muy resbaladizas, especialmente durante el verano, cuando la suciedad seca y la grava gustan de jugar con los zapatos corrientes. En algunos casos son tan empinadas que tienes que agarrar ramas o raíces de árboles y arbustos si no quieres rodar todo el camino de regreso al patio seguro de la entrada del parque. Usted también tiene que tener mucho cuidado de no perderse. Suena extraño cómo alguien podría perderse en el centro de una gran ciudad, pero Griffith Park es muy grande y la montaña desigual y colinas crean ilusiones desconcertantes. Me perdí una vez y, afortunadamente, mi perro que corría a mi lado tenía más nariz e instintos entrenados que yo y después de una hora de vagar por lo desconocido, nos condujo de nuevo a las raíces de la montaña. Una vez superado los obstáculos iniciales, todo lo demás es placer. Sus ojos no pueden obtener suficiente de la diversidad de imágenes y sentidos. La flora y la fauna del parque es exquisita, incluyendo plantas familiares y completamente desconocidas para un ojo europeo, animales temperamentales que necesitan una atención extra como ciervos, coyotes, colibríes, zarigüeyas, aves depredadoras y serpientes de cascabel. La vista es impresionante. El observatorio en la cima de las colinas se alza como un magnífico caballo blanco ronda custodiando la inmensa ciudad de Los Ángeles que se encuentra debajo de los rascacielos altos, coloridos edificios y jardines llenos de flores y bastante extrema decoración algunas veces y en el lado oeste del Pacífico Océano promete hermosas puestas de sol. Y el tiempo corre más rápido que tú. Sólo puede seguir transfiriendo el peso de su cuerpo de una pierna a la otra y dejar que sus sentidos absorban las impresiones de un paisaje bendecido. Correr se convierte en paisajismo emocional. quiosco junto a la estatua de Fred Lebow en la entrada de la calle 90 Este.

22 ROMA ROME Run Your Park

The City The Most Exciting City in the World

unny as it sounds the last play I staged in Rome was called Maratona di New York by Edoardo Erba, a story about two long time friends training for a marathon while they talk about their hopes, regrets and life’s meaning. In order to physically sustain this herculean effort I started a training regime that included running four times a week either in Villa Ada or Villa Doria Pamphili, two of Rome’s biggest parks, while I was rehearsing my lines.

Although I am half German, I am what they call a “Romano de Roma” (true Roman). I was born and raised in the heart of ancient Rome, the Suburra, thus feeling a strong connection to the cities history. It’s a privilege to wake up every morning, walk through the Forum Romanum, around the Colosseum and enjoy a fresh espresso while eating my favorite cornetto integrale al miele at the Pantheon. One of my favorite things to do is to get lost in the streets. Walk and allow myself to be surprised. Or drink a Negroni while eating an Amatriciana in Trastevere. Every corner in Rome is filled with history; every stone has its story to tell, ready to be discovered. After 28 years as a Roman, I am still overwhelmed by the cities hidden gems. Like the keyhole at the Giardino degli Aranci, where I used to take my girlfriends as a teenager. Or the Gianicolo at night, where the moon shines on a field of domes, allowing them to sparkle like dimonds. Antonello Venditti’s song Roma Capoccia is a love letter to Rome, nobody better than him describes what it feels to be in the eternal city:

”Quanto sei bella Roma quann’è sera, quando la luna se specchia dentro ar fontanone e le coppiette se ne vanno via, quanto sei bella Roma quando piove. Quanto sei grande Roma quann’è er tramonto, quando l’arancia rosseggia ancora sui sette colli e le finestre so’ tanti occhi che te sembrano dì : quanto sei bella! Ah, quanto sei bella. Oggi me sembra che er tempo se sia fermato qui. Vedo la maestà der Colosseo, vedo la santità der Cupolone, e so’ più vivo, e so’ più bono, no, nun te lasso mai, Roma capoccia der monno infame, Roma capoccia der monno infame.“ As an actor I have had the privilege to travel all around the world. I lived in Berlin, London, New York, Los Angeles but one thing I can tell you without a doubt…all roads will lead me back to Rome.

EDOARDO ERBA Edoardo Purgatori (a.k.a. Ed Hendrik) is an actor, working in Italy, Germany, the UK and the USA. He graduated at the Oxford School of Drama and continued his acting studies with teachers from the Actors Studio like Dominique De Fazio. Edoardo is known for his work in the Theatre (The Pass by John Donnelly, Marathon by Edoardo Erba, The Shape of Things by Neil LaBute and Tennessee Williams’s The Glass Menagerie) as well as his work in TV and Film (When Nuvolari Runs by Tonino Zangardi, Amore Oggi by Giuseppe Stasi & Giancarlo Fontana, Un Medico in Famiglia and Tutto Può Succedere for Italy’s public television RAI). Edoardo founded his own theatre company called “The Shape of Water” in 2017. He loves boxing and is a big AS ROMA fan.

he best point to start a racing session inside Villa Borghese is represented by Giardino del Lago. There, beyond the arch of Settimio Severo, we find ourselves on our left the famous pond and, before us, the dirt road of Viale of the Orange that will crank the ankles during our first steps. The public use of Villa Borghese dates back to the early 1800’s and is due to Camillo Borghese, who was the husband of Paolina Bonaparte, the sister of the famous Emperor. Exit from the Garden of Lake, take our left and, going uphill we find ourselves from the parts of Piazza di Siena, which each year in May hosts a well-known horse race. At this point we decide to point straight to the Borghese Gallery, which among the many artistic pearls houses some paintings by Caravaggio and lovely statues by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Let’s just skip the jump once we’ve put off the racing garments, at this point we put the Gallery back and head to the House of Cinema. Even in this case the road is steadily going up, but moreover, you know, Rome was built on the Seven Hills. Greeted by Marcello Mastroianni, who stands on the square opposite the Casa del Cinema, it’s time to go downhill with Pincio, the most impressive place to finish the race. To avoid the kick, our arrival will be located on Avenue of the Belvedere. From here one enjoys one of the most suggestive views of Rome, the ideal place to rejuvenate body and spirit.

l mejor lugar para empezar un puesto de carrera en la Villa Borghese está representado por el Jardín del lago. Allí, más allá del Arco de Settimio Severo, nos queda a nuestra izquierda el famoso estanque y frente a nosotros, el camino de tierra de Viale de la naranja que manivela los tobillos durante nuestros primeros pasos. El uso público de Villa Borghese se remonta a los primeros 800 y tienes que Camillo Borghese, que era el marido de Paolina Bonaparte, hermana del famoso emperador. Al salir del Jardín del Lago, tomamos a nuestra izquierda y, después de un pestillo nos encontramos a partir de las partes de la Piazza di Siena, que cada año a mayo es un espectáculo de caballos conocida. En este momento decidimos cabeza a la Galleria Borghese, que entre las muchas perlas artísticas se encuentran algunas pinturas de Caravaggio y hermosas estatuas de Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Con la promesa de darle una oportunidad, una vez transmitida la ropa de la raza, en este punto nos ponemos detrás de la galería y dirigirse a la Casa del Cine. Una vez más la carretera está en constantes subidas y bajadas, pero luego, ya sabes, Roma fue construida sobre siete colinas. imagen de Marcello Mastroianni, que domina la plaza en frente de la Casa del Cine aclamado, es el momento de tirarnos abajo con destino Pincio, el lugar más atractivo para terminar la carrera. Para evitar la patada, nuestra llegada se ubicará en la Avenida del Belvedere. Desde aquí se disfruta de una de las vistas más sugerentes de Roma, el lugar ideal para rejuvenecer el cuerpo y el espíritu.
