The persona of this monologue, which is here delivered by many voices, is a homeless immigrant who lives in Athens. 

​

His words draw attention to the obstacles he encountered during his risky journey from his homeland to Greece.

 

Despite the difficulties, the monologue highlights his positive spirit and determination to come to terms with the

cruel and inhospitable city center in addition to staying alive. In the original version, the voicing of the immigrant’s concerns in Greek was meant as an attempt to bridge the communication gap between local residents and foreign newcomers.
