Zorba the Greek (film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zorba the Greek (Greek title: Αλέξης Ζορμπάς, Alexis Zorba(s)) is a 1964 British-Greek drama film directed by Cypriot Michael Cacoyannis and starring Anthony Quinn as the title character. It is based on the novel Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis. The supporting cast includes Alan Bates, Lila Kedrova, Irene Papas and Sotiris Moustakas.

Traveling to inspect an abandoned mine his father owns in Crete, English author Basil (Alan Bates) meets the exuberant peasant Zorba (Anthony Quinn) and invites him along when the older man claims he has mining experience. In Basil's father's old village, he finds himself attracted to a young widow … 

Initial release: December 17, 1964 (Los Angeles)

Director: Michael Cacoyannis

Screenplay: Michael Cacoyannis

Music composed by: Mikis Theodorakis

Awards: Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, More

Sirtaki or syrtaki^[1] (Greek: συρτάκι) is a popular^[2][3] dance of Greek origin, choreographed by Giorgos Provias for the 1964 film Zorba the Greek.^[4] It is not a traditional Greek folkdance, but a mixture of the slow and fast versions of the hasapiko dance. The dance, and the accompanying music by Míkis Theodorakis, are also called Zorbá's dance, Zorbas, or "the dance of Zorba".

The name sirtáki comes from the Greek word: syrtos (from σύρω (τον χορό) which means "drag (the dance)"), a common name for a group of traditional Cretan dances of so-called "dragging" style, as opposed to pidikhtos (πηδηχτός), a hopping or leaping style. Despite that, sirtaki incorporates both syrtos (in its slower part) and pidikhtós (in its faster part) elements.

Zorba's dance

Over there is Zorba, in his country
Jumping, he dances the Sirtaki
Joy leads his steps again
Come, he's reaching out to us

And if you want to be covered in roses
All that you see is in gray
If you're really depressed,
Come dance the Sirtaki

If you want your worries and concerns to disappear
If you're looking for your youth again
Come dance with Zorba
Come dance to forget.
That day will dawn

The east wind
Comes to bring
Notes which float
In the summer sky
I already feel that tune
That will lift our steps

Over there, the night has already descended,
The days are shorter
For the lovers
The summer will leave us soon
We must take advantage of that.

If you're the one who steals
The times and moments forgotten
Who mistrusts words
Come dance the Sirtaki

If you're the one who thinks
During these struggles,
That the boat is rocking
Come dance with Zorba

If you're the one who feels empty
That happiness is bound to
Making fun of the many wrinkles,
Come dance the Sirtaki

If you're the one who has been worn out
Be proud that you have a beating heart
Looking at a rose,
Come dance with Zorba

Come dance with Zorba
Come dance with Zorba
