In a few hours Mikis Theodorakis will rest in the Cretan land. In Galatas, Chania, in his village as he wished, next to his father and brother.
In his face was concentrated the struggle of a Greece against barbarism, with its strong weapons music, poetry and faith in the values of democracy and freedom.
We say goodbye to the creator Mikis Theodorakis, the world Mikis, with excerpts from his work, his life and the collective memory.
