The Greek Art Theatre – Karolos Koun & Municipal Regional Theatre of Volos – Diagoras Chronopoulos
Aristophanes, Wealth
“God-fearing and just” but poor, Chremylos the farmer is surrounded by unscrupulous, sacrilegious men, corrupt politicians and sycophants intent on enriching themselves in an Athens ravaged by war. In Aristophanes’ final play (338 BC) the only way out lies in a utopia: a world in which Plutus, the demigod of wealth - whom Zeus had blinded in his youth so he could avoid the just, the wise and the honourable when handing out his bounty - is given back his sight!
Diagoras Chronopoulos and the distinguished actors of the Art Theatre, underscore the role of the goddess Penury in this satirical take on the poverty of our times.
