Περιγραφή

The stage presupposes faith. An irrational faith on the part of the performer—in themselves, in nothingness, in the “emptiness” of the stage, in the audience’s chairs; faith in the audience itself- those who come to the “spectacle” ready to believe everything, but, essentially, to believe in the people on stage. Brian Friel wrote about this absolute human need for hope through a Promethean exhortation. The directorial approach envisions the play, throughout its entire dramaturgical development, being performed within breathing distance of the audience, often among them, with cinematic immediacy in the performances and the atmosphere of a stripped-down provincial neighborhood. The gaida is one of the oldest folk wind instruments of the countryside. Its raw traditional sound propels the narrative toward a universal dimension and a subtle connection to the collective unconscious and to universal human trauma, as inscribed in the body and memory of theatrical experience.
