The Zoo Story by Savvas Patsalidis
What struck me in the performance I saw is that the actors were playing without hiding behind their disability, to elicit feelings of sympathy or, worse, pity.

A thumbs goes to Vassilis Economou director, who found the boundaries of each partner and worked with them, managing to create an image of diversity as normal.
