The singer Eleni Tsaligopoulou, the actress Eleni Kokkidou and six virtuoso musicians invite us on a journey, through notes and words, to the beginning of the 20th century; a journey filled with the of the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Smyrna. The city with the legendary beauty and tragic destruction, which will always be the loved “lost motherland” of the Greeks. One hundred years from the sad anniversary of the Asia Minor Catastrophe, Eleni Tsaligopoulou performs timeless songs from Smyrna and works by composers of the time, while Eleni Kokkidou narrates testimonies of the uprooting and excerpts from related works of Greek literature.
