Oysters and Orotory at Christos’ Fishmonger

raskatosSome ingenious Greeks always have their way, such as fisherman-poet Christos Raskatos who is going to participate in the Festival of Performing Arts of Lorne, a seaside town on Louttit Bay in Victoria, Australia.

At the Festival of Performing Arts of Lorne, from Sept. 6 to 8, Raskatos will present the performance Oysters and Oratory with Christos.

The success of his performance is more than certain as Christos is well-known both as a fisherman and as a poet. He writes and recites in two languages (Greek and English).

There in the platform of Lorne, where Christos sells his fish, there is always a blackboard where he writes his poems with chalk.

The Australian newspaper wrote an entire tribute to Raskatos as it is feared local authorities will pull down his fishmonger “for something better for the tourists to be built.”

And maybe the last poem that Christos will write on the board of his shop, which was opened back in 1969, will be a “requiem.”
