Description

What is Aristophanes' "Plutus"?
It is an ancient comedy that is still performed today. The blind Plutus, who has been cured, now shares his wealth equally among all Athenian citizens.

And why does our people insist that "Plutus is blind"?
Well, something went wrong here.

Why make an adaptation for young audiences?
To allow children to discover the most important works of ancient Greek drama in a creative and artistic way. Also, to become recipients of the high morals and style, as well as the universal values that they contain, in a understandable and familiar language. Two modern heroes have been added to the adaptation, two new children, Aristos and Fanis, in the interludes that correspond to them, who comment, judge, and try to understand the works and the days of the heroes of the play.

And is it only for young audiences?
This version, which includes original musical compositions, is aimed at:
- playwrights
- musicians
- primary and secondary education teachers
- theater professionals, etc.

Theater for young audiences is a serious matter for adults, because Aristophanic comedy contributes to the understanding of the world, by highlighting those elements "from which laughter arises".
