After Troy November 20, 2012

March 12 - 17
After Troy
Renowned European director and Distinguished Professor of Drama Mihai Maniutiu creates a thought-provoking drama based on the play Hecuba by Euripides. It takes centuries to build a city/culture based on human values. Sometimes, one night is all it takes to turn it to ashes. After Troy examines the conflict between civilization and the barbarians who are intent on annihilating it. This production features a post-apocalyptic society wherein the degradation of human values, in times of hate, bloodshed and cruelty, is in full view. Looking into the dark mirror of Troy, we may learn once more to battle the barbarians that threaten our cities.
Created and directed by Mihai Maniutiu
