What I can't see

It was designed by the architect Nikos Perdikaris and is named Katrakio in honour of one of the greatest Greek actors of the 20th century, Manos Katrakis. The bronze statue representing Don Quixote, a work by Memos Makris, has a symbolic character, as it was a role that Manos Katrakis performed outstandingly. Many Greek and foreign artists have performed in this theatre, such as Mikis Theodorakis, Christos Leontis, Haroula Alexiou, Giorgos Dalaras, Nina Simone, Neville Brothers, Public Enemy and many more.
