In Praise of Folly by Erasmus

Περιγραφή
A contemporary approach to Erasmus’ emblematic The Praise of Folly, that attempts to remind us of our relationship with the theatrical experience. Through a holistic scenic composition, the actors function as Folly’s multiple voices. Folly is the goddess of foolishness and madness, who creates a universe that is poetic, satirical and deeply human. The performance unfolds using movement, rhythm, sound and music in equal terms with the spoken word. In a direct dialogue with the archaeological site of Mystras, the stone, the memory, the silence of the space- the performance creates a juxtaposition between the ongoing line of history and the human nature. In the digital era of constructed images, the Praise of Folly invites us to laugh with our faults and weaknesses, to reconcile with our imperfections and to acknowledge the human measure, the need for connection and coexistence through tolerance and acceptance of the “other”
