Breaking bread - BREAKING BREAD - CHRONICLE OF THE GRECO-PERSIAN WARS

The play explores the relationship between solidarity and war. What is the right choice when the moral imperative of solidarity conflicts with the imperative of survival? Is it reprehensible to put the well-being of oneself and one’s narrow community before standing up for those in need? Where is the moment when it is no longer right to remain silent, and where is the moment when it is still necessary to remain silent?

The play is a parable about solidarity through the story of a small Hellenic family under Persian conquest. The audience steps into the role of the Greek assembly, argues, votes and decides about the fate of one of the characters of the story. We are all part of it.
