The Ignorant and the Insane at Theater Poreia
Going to the theater is probably my favorite hobby. I am lucky enough to live in a city that has many stages and there is always something interesting to see.
So, yesterday I went to Poreia Theater here in Athens to watch Thomas Bernhard's "The ignorant and the Insane" play . ( Thomas Bernhard, Der Ignorant und der Wahnsinnige, 1972 ).
If you are in Athens I highly recommend it. Artistically is brilliant and the performances are awesome. It will make you think , it will make you laugh, it will make you wonder.
The story is about a famous opera singer that is fed up singing the "Vengeance" aria from Magic Flute of Mozart, even though she is the best in doing so. This is the song I am talking about and note that this is possibly the most demanding song of opera.
Along with our singer "The Queen of the night" is her blind father, a doctor that studies anatomy and a personal assistant. I won't spoil you the story, but this singer wants to do something unheard of. If you want to find out more, go and watch the play.
