Theater Diadromi and Municipal and Regional Theatre of Agrinion – Vassilis Nikolaidis
Aristophanes, The Knights
In this most difficult summer of 2010, it will be the ancient Greeks’ foremost writer of comedy who commands centre-stage at Epidaurus with his unmatched talent for satire.
First in this Aristophanes-fest is Knights (424 BC), a political comedy which decries warmongers and the way they manipulate the people, but also the citizens who undoubtedly share in the blame. Of course, since the rise to power is built on ignorance and dishonesty, the political rivals never tire of shameless demagoguery.
Vassilis Nikolaidis and a cast of popular comedy veterans undertake to redirect the poet’s barbs at the politicians and citizens of our day.
