Presentation of the comic book "The dead brother" by Eva Poulopoulou

The philologist Anna Lampardakis and the creator of the comic Eva Poulopoulou talk about the original comic "Tou nekro brodrou", the most popular folk song and its composition in a comic. Narrated by actress Marinella Vlahaki. The folk song Tou Nekrou Aderfou is one of the oldest narrative songs of the Balkans with its origins lost in the depths of the centuries. It was sung in versions with a single theme based on the common roots of the peoples of the region, defying physical borders and cultural differences. Timeless ideas such as the sanctity of the oath, the power of the lament and the curse, perceptions of life in the outback, but also magical elements such as the resurrection and talking birds, compose a haunting, fascinating tale. Enjoy it in a work that combines the richness of folk tradition and the singularity of folk song language, with the contemporary, direct and intimate visual language of comic books.
