Zuidpool: ALKIBIADES

In a far-reaching adaptation of Ilja Leonard Pfeijffers monumental novel (published by Arbeiderspers), Zuidpool brings the story of Alcibiades. Topactrice Sofie Decleir gives shape to Greece's most controversial politician. He holds up a confronting mirror to us. Is the people themselves capable of knowing what is good for the people? And how important do we still find the truth? A gripping story in a world in which the democratic contract that we have concluded with each other threatens to be broken at any moment. A look into a system that is hitting its limits.
