After the great success of last year’s season, the “Opera of Pentara” by Bertolt Brecht from the Theater Group of the University Employees (TH.O.E.P.P.), returns for those who missed it and would like to meet with the Brecht’s heroes above and below the stage of the “Agora” Theatre, with a 2nd cycle of performances from Friday 18 October and for a limited number of performances.
Let us remind you that Bertolt Brecht’s “Pentara Opera” is one of the greatest works of the 20th century. An emblematic work that stood out because of Brecht’s view of society. A look that satirizes and castigates in a masterful way the corruption of society, the destructive role of money and the control order of the ruling class.
In the performance, the main axis of the story is brought to life, influenced by elements of social criticism and satire, as is the nature of this work.
The members of the historical group of THOEPP under the teaching and directing eye of Yiannis Tsakonas, go through all the roles. They transform into bosses, beggars, mobsters and patrons, customers or workers in the cabarets of Soho.
They remind us that life is an adventure and it is disruptive. Each of us can go through different positions, phases and situations in our life, whether we want to or not. Either socially or personally.
The wheel of life turns but no one knows where it will lead. As the author says in his text “…what is today like this… Tomorrow, it will be different…”. A show that satirizes, worries but above all entertains with prose, music, dance and song.
