ALCIBIADES

Masterful! The year 411 BC. Athens abolishes democracy. The man behind the coup? Alcibiades. He is an army commander, politician, seducer, traitor. And! The most beautiful man in Greece. Many titles to carry. Today, 2400 later, he stands face to face with the audience. He asks a question himself: was he the populist who dismantled democracy? Or could he have saved it? The answer comes via Sofie Decleir, who bites into this dizzying role and doesn't let you go for a moment. Anyone who wants to understand the politics of today must see this. And that politics of today? You feel it in every sentence. Fake news, hollowed-out democracy, the pitfalls of vanity... it has existed for 2400 years. The question is whether it is not too late now. This is not a history lesson. This is an alarm signal. And an evening that lingers for a long time. Every word vibrates, every look drills, and every second you think: this is theater at its best. - in Knack Focus Een meticulous analysis of this complex showtime, without falling into clichés.
