The birds – A timeless political satire (BDA_RO10) |
|||||
|
From the intricate
themes of Aristophanes’ imagery in The Birds, this scenographic
rendering attempts to highlight one of the most modern of them –
populism and political manipulation. The atmosphere centers on a wasted
land, home of a decayed and ruined society, with few signs of a now lost
glory. This must be the perfect landscape for a seeming utopian leader
who, in a very modern manner, promises to bring back the glorious days
of the idealized past and even more, the end of history – an utopian
Birds’ heaven. The Utopia is at hand and only a militarized “Heaven” and
a strong command will guarantee its success. A never ending story of
embezzled ideals and recurring dictatorships. One must view these cycles
in perspective – irony, parody and humour are the only consolations. |
