The Mythodia theater company, in collaboration with Athenian Theaters and People Entertainment Group, will present the much-discussed production \u201cThe Crucible\u201d (The Crucible) by Arthur Miller, directed by Nikorestis Haniotakis.<\/p>\n\n
“A work about individual conscience and the social tyranny experienced by every culture and every generation” The works of the American playwright (\u201cThe Death of a Salesman,\u201d \u201cAll My Sons,\u201d \u201cA View from the Bridge,\u201d \u201cThe Price,\u201d etc.) have enjoyed enormous worldwide success, at various times, both on stage and on the big screen. \u201cThe Crucible\u201d is based on real events that took place in Massachusetts in 1692 and was adapted for the big screen, starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Ryder. <\/p>\n\n \u201cThe Crucible\u201d or \u201cThe Crucible\u201d is a timeless indictment of superstition, prejudice, and bigotry. Through his work, Miller condemns the violation of civil liberties and introduces the term \u201cwitch hunt\u201d into the 20th century. He explains: \u201cWhen the atmosphere is charged with tension, fear takes on a life of its own. The people of Salem saw themselves as the custodians of a higher truth. If the light of that truth were to be extinguished, they believed the end of the world would come. \u201cWhen you have an ideological world that considers itself so pure, it\u2019s natural to veer toward extremes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n In 1953, Miller staged the play *The Crucible* on Broadway, winning a Tony Award. His aim was to denounce the anti-communist hysteria that prevailed in the U.S. during the McCarthy era and led to the physical and moral destruction of ordinary citizens, idealists, and representatives of the intellectual community. In 1692 in Salem, Abigail falls madly in love with a married man older than her, John Proctor. He, however, rejects her and chooses to remain with his wife. So, she and other young women from his village cast a spell to bring him back. The residents of Salem discover them, and the women face the risk of being put to death as witches. Abigail accuses her lover\u2019s wife of instigating the supernatural acts, leading to a trial with devastating consequences for everyone. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" at the Dimitris Horn Theater The Mythodia theater company, in collaboration with Athenian Theaters and People Entertainment Group, will present the much-discussed production \u201cThe Crucible\u201d (The Crucible) by Arthur Miller,…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45158,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","cpt_portfolio_group":[463,468],"class_list":["post-45144","cpt_portfolio","type-cpt_portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cpt_portfolio_group-2021-2022","cpt_portfolio_group-mikro-pallas-theater"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/45144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cpt_portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45144"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/45144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45159,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/45144\/revisions\/45159"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cpt_portfolio_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio_group?post=45144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}A few words about the project:<\/h4>\n\n
