Description
Following the successful performance of The Birthday by Georges Sari at the National Theatre of Greece, the group Elephas tiliensis (Dimitris Agartzidis and Despoina Anastasoglou) presents a new music production for children and grown-ups titled True Story or A Journey to the Island of the Moon. The performance is based on Lucian’s work, True Story, which is globally acknowledged as the first science fiction novel ever written.
Following the trend of his contemporary writers who crafted stories filled with incredible adventures to far-away and unexplored lands, Lucian describes the imaginary journey of a young man and his ship’s crew to the unknown. It features a fascinating voyage to the Moon, an interstellar war with immense extraterrestrial monsters, a giant sea creature that swallows the heroes’ ship, pirates and sea monsters, a trip to the land of the Makari and the Accursed, and the discovery of an unknown continent – all part of an incredible adventure. A human journey to the stars, the future, and the unfathomable, uncharted universe, even to this day. Truth or lies? Truth! As long as we can believe in fairy tales together.
