Greek revolutionary and poet Alekos Panagulis, who was imprisoned for the assassination attempt on dictator Papadopoulos and later freed thanks to a strong international movement, met Oriana Fallaci for an interview. They grew entangled, between discussions, fights for freedom, joys, solitudes, and hopes, until his death in a mysterious accident in 1976, and also beyond that. Both Panagulis and Fallaci transformed pain into words for everybody’s memory. This multi-souled melologue was inspired by their story.
