Four unemployed Greeks, "newly poor" living on the margins of prosperity, see their daily lives upended when a Kurdish refugee enters their world. Through their clashes, an undercurrent of racism, alienation, and the dead ends of modern life emerges, in a play that explores the limits of humanity and the price of survival at any cost. Written in 1998 by Reppas-Papathanasiou, it was staged in Athens only once, in the 1999-2000 season.
