My Grandfather Papaflessas

Ο ΠΑΠΠΟΥΣ ΜΟΥ Ο ΠΑΠΑΦΛΕΣΣΑΣ

World Premiere
A tender look at the hero of the Greek Revolution of 1821. Papaflessas traveled to Constantinople in the age of Enlightenment and romanticism, and became a member of the revolutionary organization “Filiki Eteria” (Society of Friends), taking on the task of inciting his compatriots against the Ottoman Empire. What sets the heroes apart? Do they have mitigating factors?
