The building of the \u201cVourla\u201d in Drapetsona (1876-1968) played a role in modern Greek history as a state brothel and later a prison. After the Civil War, it was a place of imprisonment for political prisoners. The \u201cgreat escape\u201d of twenty-seven imprisoned communists in 1955, in defiance of party legitimacy, was carried out by digging a hole under a prisoner\u2019s bed. The bed of the prostitute, the client, the political prisoner is always the same bed. It becomes the privileged field for the desire to escape, especially in conditions of brutal domination. Coercion and dream, sexual and libertarian desire, the paths of the collective unconscious pass through the invisible drains of the deep field of the bed. <\/p>\n
