The man portraying the worker at the TITAN cement factory talks about a very real and quite common experience among the residents of Eleusis. Work and cement mark every family in Eleusis, every age and phase of life, and the entire city. Often, this definition is formed through inner struggle, as the industry provides employment and means of living for a family, but it can also deprive them of a clean and healthy environment, affecting even their lives.
F.=Facilitator, P.=Participant
F. 1: What are you?
P. I am a factory in Eleusis.
F. 1: A specific one?
P. 3: Yes, the TITAN factory, where my father worked for twenty-five years. I worked there as an apprentice before I joined the military. This factory represents the efforts of all the residents who worked there for a better life, even under very difficult conditions.
F. 1: What difficulties do you face here? What do you encounter?
P. 3: First of all, the harsh working conditions: the cement that would get in your mouth, ears, eyes, everywhere. The smell of cement would still permeate your body even after washing.
F. 1: Thank you.
