George

Efthimis Filippou Angeliki Papoulia Panagiotis Melidis (Larry Gus), 2023
Ladies and gentlemen, my darling children, it’s been two whole years since I first heard this here story. It all began quite suddenly.

It had rained the day before, but on that day, the day it all suddenly began, the weather was fine. He was working in his office. His first name was George and his middle name was Thomas.

The story centers on the final days in the life of a man, George, that falls ill suddenly, and dies quite suddenly too. It unfolds like a surreal spell that tackles the inescapabilty of death, and is punctuated by musical interludes sung by a large male choir.
