Nikos Mastorakis chose to present a play that has rarely been performed in Greece in his first collaboration with the Acropolis Theater Organization.
It is "Saint Joan of Slaughter" by Bertolt Brecht.
The play was written by the great German author the 1929, but he himself did not get to see it performed on stage, as its first presentation took place in 1959…
Like all of Brecht's works, so it also highlights the human condition.
"Saint Joan of Slaughterhouses" could be seen as a modernized one, scathingly satirical version of the story of Joan of Arc, which takes place with many nested songs in his Chicago 1929 and the financial crash.
Director Nikos Mastorakis notes features:
Having experienced two world wars, of the Weimar Republic and the Great Change of East Germany to a Communist State, bertolt brecht begins to write the 1929, too soon, Agia Joanna of the Slaughterhouses, which he himself will never manage to raise. So, Saint Joan, which is more a paraphrase than a parody of Schiller's Maid of Orleans, played after his death the 1959, the time when the economic miracle of post-war Germany is being cooked up, and is perhaps the postscript of his spiritual path.
Here Brecht, in the form of the epic theater, explains to modern man the mechanism of the capitalist economy and the absolute dependence of all of us on it, as well as our inability to escape the impasse of a system destructive to both man and nature.
