I'm a Greek living in NY. I wasn't in Athens last December, but I followed closely what was happening during the days of unrest.
I have mixed feelings about your piece. Overall I liked your point of view, but not really the way that you communicated it. The theatrical atmosphere you meant to create was working at moments but mainly it was kind of superfluous and weak. Especially the poetic part. What I received wasn't felt new and fresh as the last December. I imagine it is difficult to find this new language to shape a new living and breathing dynamic, but I don't think a sentimental tongue is the way to go.

It would be better to have the videos and the photographs from December to do the talking, at least until you find something equivalent substantial to the action of the streets to put into words.
