Nikos Economopoulos was born in Aigio in 1940 and was the son of Konstantinos Economopoulos from Patras and Maria Spanou from Corinth. In 1966 he left for America and settled in New Jersey, where his older brother was. For many years he worked in the catering industry. His marriage, in 1973, to Paraskevi Rabavila, also from the region of Aigio, gave him two daughters, Maria and Georgia.
In the 1960s, he visited Paris for a while, which is also the place where the action of the only novel he wrote entitled “Michel’s Story” takes place, but he was not happy to see it published, since he left in 2020 from life.
A few words about the project

When they return home, Marion, with whom she grew up and for whom she feels no love but hatred, will begin to tell her a strange story that concerns her. After all, Michelle is her father’s daughter? And Marion, who knows all this, who is she? What will the little girl do when she learns the truth?
The event is held under the auspices of the Vice Mayor of Culture and Sports of the Municipality of Aegialia.
