About the play 
“Les Misérables” describes the lives of the impoverished residents of Paris and the French province of the early 19th century, following the adventures of Jean Valjean and his persecutor, the policeman Javert. Around these two ambiguous characters, Hugo composes a unique gallery of heroes in order to explore the meaning of Good and Evil.

Director’s Note
The ongoing crisis of culture and society leaves us, once more, with no choice but concentrate on the subject of poverty and inequality. Using excerpts from “Les Misérables” by Victor Hugo as starting point, we unfold on stage our thoughts and our concerns for the socio-cultural context in which we live.

Due to the great number of schools that offered to host the programme, “Les Misérables” are going to visit each school of Thessaloniki’s Municipalities just once in order to cover the greatest number of schools possible. NTNG will give priority to those schools that it has not had the opportunity to visit until now.
