Alexandros Papadiamantis' deeply human short story "Goutou Gupatu", written 100 years ago, talks to true stories of children and teenagers of the 21st century, listens to them and with humour gently winks at every person who feels "different".

A story about otherness, disability, the Other and the ego. The story of small incidents of everyday violence and big moments of friendship, trust and love.

The performance is part of the En Dynami group's theatre and education programme entitled "Octopus Society", approved by the Ministry of Education. It will be presented in schools all over Greece as well as in theatres for a limited number of performances for the public.
The premiere of the show for schools will take place on November 4 at the MANTOULIDI Educational Centre and for the public at the ANETON Theatre in Thessaloniki on November 12.
