The performance
This performance doesn’t follow the traditional form , keeping at the same time all the carnival features of Fassoulis. Fassoulis dealing with life and death as if  they were games controverts the seriousness of these situations. Mocking them gives us a tool, laughing, in order to be able to confront what we are afraid of.
