Dialogues of Plato

The best, the worst, the hopeless times

How do we measure time? How do we evaluate our era, our history, if not through our lives, through the distillation of our experiences and judgment? Each sees things from a specific point, through different expectations, disappointments, fears and achievements. "Man is the measure of all things," declared Protagoras - the truth is relative, depending on each person's evaluation.

The performance will be on stage at Understage B of the Athens Concert Hall (megaron.gr), from March 10 to 12.
