Greek actress Kora Karvouni recounts experience at Dromokaiteio psychiatric hospital
Greek actress Kora Karvouni recently shared her intense professional experience while appearing on the television program "Studio 4." To prepare for her challenging role in the theatrical play "The Sexual Neuroses of Our Parents," in which she portrayed a young woman suffering from mental disability and psychosis, Karvouni spent two days at the Dromokaiteio psychiatric hospital.
Accompanied by a psychiatrist, the actress observed patients both in clinical interactions and in their daily activities to better understand the nuances of her character. She described the process as a "hard" and difficult experience that profoundly altered her perspective on the fragility of mental health. This preparation was deemed necessary by the actress to authentically interpret the complex demands of the script for her director.
Beyond the theatrical requirements, Karvouni emphasized the personal impact of the visit, noting that the interaction with patients and the exposure to the psychiatric environment served as critical research. The actress's public comments highlight her dedicated approach to character development, focusing on the realism and sensitivity required for sensitive portrayals in her career.
