Acharnians by Aristophanes - 10 & 11 July 2015

“While political corruption rules, Dikaiopolis takes on an initiative for Peace, Justice and Meritocracy. Aristophanes the politician is in fine form!” remarks Yannis Kakleas about The Acharnians, while he too seems to be in fine form as he takes on yet another Aristophanean endeavour. Unpredictable as always, he continues to explore the scenic Aristophanean form, with a host of outstanding comic actors in a play which praises the benefits of peaceful co-existence, mocking the warmongers.

The case
In an Athens ravaged by the Peloponnesian War, Dikaiopolis commits to the cause of peace. He begins negotiations with Sparta and succeeds in persuading the Acharnians, who fought at Marathon and constitute the largest deme of Attica, to concur. The market place opens and desperation leads to all kind of merchandise being put up for sale: geese, hares, and even maidens disguised as piglets.
