They call me Popi
In a well-crafted performance-farce, Panousis utilizes familiar tactics. He begins by attacking his long-standing opponent and proceeds with a series of sketches and songs. In this performance, he also gives a true presentation of how satanic lyrics are incorporated into songs, where the artist presents the inexplicable event in his own songs. He proposes solutions for the low birth rate and the political situation, and speaks prophetically about Avramopoulos.
