Prometheus, who brought fire to humanity and ignited civilization, was punished eternally for his deed. Yet his prophetic insight that Zeus would one day be overthrown, along with his unwavering spirit of sacrifice and acts of defiance, weave together to form a deeply moving political drama.
Having just completed its Taipei run and sparked intense discussion among critics and audiences alike, “Prometheus” takes on a unique character wherever it is performed. To witness the intensity of the Attis Theatre director stepping into the role of the chorus leader, and to experience how the theater portrays the struggle against oppressive power, don’t miss the final performance in Taiwan on March 30 (Saturday) at Kaohsiung’s Zhidé Hall. This powerful staging of “The Fight for Freedom” promises to be unforgettable. For details, visit the official website: www.ksaf.com.tw.
