Fotis Kontoglou’s book is a collection of stories published in 1962 and a nostalgic reference to the backdrop of the author’s childhood, in early-20th-century Aivali, a small city hidden among the straits and coasts of the East.
After a careful consideration of these texts, we selected those parts that engage in a meaningful conversation with the mass flights of populations of the previous century and at the same time with the refugee and migrant crisis of today. We explore Kontoglou’s language and the path towards a deeper understanding and a more active participation in the “strange currents” created among people.
Aivali, My Homeland is a performance created by four performers who, through the stories of various protagonists of a wonderful collection of short stories, reveal these characters by placing them in a common time and place, while composing a strange, common story.
