Nikoletta’s Account

Title

Nikoletta’s Account

Creator

Papageorgopoulos, Klio

Abstract

A condensed play on the Greek Civil War, placing emphasis on the identities of Balkan individuals. Centered around the protagonist Nikoletta and her experiences living in a village in the Peloponnese, the play is split up into four acts, jumping from the present, to 1948, then 1978 and ultimately back into present. The time jumps encapsulate perspectives Nikoletta faced during the tribulations of the Greek Civil War, after the war and efficaciously enunciates the need and power of compassion, historical reference and the dangers of polarization in society, regardless of time and setting.
