«The wave»

"Manos Hadjidakis" Open-air Theatre

A play that touches us with the intense emotions experienced by the characters and the negative, timeless influence that fascism, a totalitarian/ Nazi system, an authoritarian state may have. Albert Einstein's quote comes to mind: "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing". The directorial approach is also based on this quote. That is, the director examines the issue of fascism and the manipulation of the masses not only from the perspective of the people responsible for them and sheds light on the responsibility borne by those who allowed for such a destructive "Wave" to rise.
