Description
A timeless fable about how we relate to others.
Synopsis
Published in 1945, George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” is a political and satirical text, but also a fable about how we relate to others. Added to this is the age-old theme of power, how it can be irresistible, and ultimately, corrupting. In times of uncertainty and fear, as we witness fierce exercises of power, there is nothing more current and pervasive than provoking a discussion about who is in charge.
Who is in charge here? If this “here” is a place of dissatisfaction, what if the children who come to see this play, taking advantage of the theatre, appropriate the story? What if they succeed? What if, for a moment, they become the owners of the farm and we, the obedient pigs?
