Jack or Submission (2018)

This one-act Eugène Ionesco's play concerns Jack, a young man who reacts to his matchmaking with Roberta as it is planned after the decision of his family for financial and social reasons. His sister Jacqueline, his mother Mother Jack, his father Father Jack, and his grandmother Grandmother Jack berate him for his selfish behavior in their attempts to dissuade him. His deaf grandfather Grandfather Jack often interrupts them with his singing. When he finally accepts to meet Roberta and her parents Father Robert and Mother Robert, new discussions start all over again after he seems to react again in the perspective of the wedding and Roberta takes over to make him change his mind. The film is a live video recording of the critically acclaimed theatrical production of THE.AM.A. (Theatre for Disabled People of Greece), brilliantly directed by Vassilis Oikonomou in 2015 and performed successfully both in Athens and other cities on tour.
