Program Note
The life of Jorg Geissner, a German banker, totally transforms with a visit to Paladiki Island, Greece. A business trip to check on a project called “Galapagos in Greece” by the islanders and for which his bank extended a loan and credit, brought him there. Being a German, he wants to investigate thoroughly, but Panos, a mini-mart owner, and the mayor try their utmost to sabotage him—to camouflage a not-so-good reality. After every single trial resulted in nothing because of the islanders’ secret meddling, Jorg’s trip becomes elongated, like The Odyssey’s, forcing him to contemplate the priorities and responsibilities in life again. This debut work is a marvelous comedy, depicting the friendship between the German and the Greeks despite their distinct dispositions. The Greeks ridicule the German, but eventually they transcend all differences, becoming united, and a beautiful friendship blooms. In this humanistic drama with a stunning visual, the role of the mini-mart owner trying to reconcile with his young son and become friends with the German is played by global star Adam Bousdoukos of Soul Kitchen.
