Municipal & Regional Theatre of Crete – Giannis Kakleas

Aristophanes, The Birds

In times of crisis, the search for utopia makes a surging comeback. Armed with a worthy cast and Manos Hadjidakis’ legendary music, Giannis Kakleas embarks on a directorial quest for a contemporary Cloud Cuckoo Land. A comedy for our times, The Birds was written in 414 BC in an Athens plagued by war, hunger, debt and decline. In desperation, two elderly Athenians leave and join forces with the birds to create the perfect city.
