“Andreas Flourakis’ contemporary Greek play ‘I Want a Country’ comes to the spotlight at a time when its relevant message is confirmed with such remarkable accuracy that it gives you the impression that the author's creative thought is in ‘open dialogue’ with contemporary history. Ignoring the usual dramaturgical forms, Flourakis is not interested in sketching characters, but in ways of thinking; he does not wish to present scenes of action, but rather a verbal mosaic of ideas, desires, judgments, challenges, and logical or even irrational conclusions, as they emerge from the everyday life of our times.
The writing style of the text undeniably highlights one single protagonist: the crowd. A stage polyphony that continually returns to a unique demand: I W A N T A C O U N T R Y.”
Elena Triantafillopoulou (from the afterword of the edition)
