Summer. George and Hara are having a party. Manos plays the music, always loud. The news arrives one after the other. The past returns with Stella’s face: Spain, the “Red Kids”, the links, the attempt. Those who stayed behind and those who went ahead. The episodic reunion of a once inseparable group. Or its flaming end?
Penny Milia’s theatre play focuses mainly on the grid of strong ties of the members of a greek anarchists group, after a failed “hit” in Spain three years earlier, with the background of the constant struggle of the dreamers and the rebels. Conflicts of faces create a relationship thriller, where love is bonded with politics and history, with consequences unpredictable for all.
