Description

A dialogue with George Orwell’s book

 

The performance offers a human-centered interpretation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm, focusing not so much on criticism and denunciation as on humanity’s capacity to coexist, to make amends, and to begin again. On the farm, balance has been disrupted. Humans have forgotten that strength does not mean only power and domination, but also responsibility. Through the radically different choice of reversing the roles—placing humans in the position of the animals and animals in the position of the humans—the stage becomes a space of understanding and empathy, where togetherness is placed at the center, above the pursuit of power. This reversal is not presented as an act of magic, but as a conscious collective agreement, emphasizing that change can only begin through dialogue and shared decision-making. Three performers on stage tell stories, play games and characters, and create music, songs, and sounds, shaping an atmosphere suitable for children of all ages. Through humor, vivid imagery, and theatrical devices that stimulate the audience’s imagination, the play gradually reveals its central theme: the loneliness of power and the erosion caused by the absence of togetherness.
