The Guardian of the Lake
15.07 — 16.07.2023
Description
In Andreas Flourakis’ new work The Guardian of the Lake the imaginary converges with ecology, and modern language with our folk tradition. The writer joins once more forces with director Roubini Moschochoriti, after their successful collaboration on the production for young audiences Asia Minor, to mould a luminous world full of imagination and children’s images.
The guardian of a Greek lake who wants to travel across the world for the first time, meets his potential replacements: a Greek-American investor, a school student, and a Finnish scientist. None of them seems good enough to him, while a spot of unidentified origin appears on the surface of the lake, a frog with Tourette’s syndrome is giving him a hard time, and all the animals of the wetland are becoming worried by these sudden changes. What will the guardian do to be able to go on his trip but also save his beloved lake? A work written for young and older audiences who want to love theatre again.
