More about the event:
The text describes, through the story of the Baltatzis family, the extraordinary life of the cosmopolitan capital of Ionia until its destruction. The multicultural society of Smyrna with the Levantines, Armenians, Turks and Greeks, the exceptional lifestyle, the oriental cuisine and music, all these harmoniously combine the elements of all ethnicities that come to life through the personal stories of the heroes. And of course, in the background, policies and conflicting interests are depicted along with the political aspirations that led to the devastation of this unique city.
