ALKIBIADES - Zuidpool

In a radical adaptation of Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer’s monumental novel ‘Alkibiades’, Zuidpool brings the story of Alcibiades to life. Sofie Decleir portrays Greece’s most controversial politician, unable to choose between his boundless self-love and the common good of his people. At the same time, he holds up a confrontational mirror to us. Are people capable of knowing what is good for them? And how important do we still consider the truth to be, when probability is more desirable? A moving story set in a world where the democratic contract we have agreed upon threatens to be broken at any moment. A glimpse of a system that is reaching its limits, yet for which there appears to be no better alternative.
