Chicago Way w/John Kass: Palikari IV – Legacy

The Chicago Way

The Palikari Project: Part IV – Legacy | As the curtain comes down on the Palikari Project, our hero returns home to his family’s village for the first time in almost 40 years with his sons, John, Peter, & Nick. We also get insight into what the boys were experiencing as twenty-somethings seeing their father’s legacy come to life in the form of the joy & love pouring out of the ‘villageneers’ in Rizes. And finally, Betty Kass -John’s lovely wife, takes us back to the beginning when she was a young artist trying to bring the Palikari to life, hoping to share it with the world.

About The Palikari Project: Thirty-five years ago in Oak Lawn, John Kass & his brother Nicholas set a card table with coffee, cigarettes, & a tap recorder, hoping to capture their family’s story from a primary source, their father, Spyros John Kass. The tapes were part of an art project John’s wife Betty put together, a ballet. But the tapes were thought lost and the voice of the Kass patriarch with them after his death in 1992.
