Silence, the King is Listening

2022-2023 National Theatre of Northern Greece, The Region of Central Macedonia, Municipality of Thessaloniki

Silence, the King is Listening

Opening: Eptapyrgio, Thessaloniki, 21/06/2023

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale “The Emperor’s New Clothes” and (improbably!) dedicated to the memory of the American pioneering composer John Cage, Silence, the King Is Listening is, at the same time, an ideal introduction of younger as well as (why not?) older spectators to the concepts, techniques and tools of musical composition, and also a hilarious, ruthless attack to all kinds of hypocritical snobbery that deaden musical creation and reception.
