In light of his new theatrical performance, Thanassis Birkos gave an interview to the newspaper On Time Σαββατοκύριακο with journalist Sissi Menegatou. Among other topics, the actor spoke about the challenging management of his beloved father’s passing.
“Yes, but I found the light directly through this experience. Reflecting on the day of the funeral, the thought in my mind, beyond everything else, was the loss of someone I deeply loved—my father. The reality is that there’s no escape from this loss. So, what should I do? Should I drown in sorrow or choose to embrace joy, living as fully as I can without burdening anyone else?”
“Of course, you allow yourself to feel the emotions and process them. However, at some point, you carry the absence with you alongside the realization that ‘I am here, I am alive.’ We often say ‘life to you’ at funerals. This is very wise. It signifies that you have life. We remind ourselves at these moments that life continues, and that’s an important perspective to consider,” he noted.
So, you didn’t let your father’s death become a wound that continues to hurt?
“I didn’t allow it to become a burden. The absence will always exist; it will never go away. The thought of what we could have done together if he were here will always linger. However, I strive to do things and find happiness so that, if he is watching from above, he can see that his child is happy,” he added.
