About
"The cunning Prometheus deceived Olympus and brought fire to the people in order to make them civilised. And Olympus punished him for his misdeed. Pandora opened her box from which all ills, diseases, wars, even death itself escaped. At the bottom, only hope remained ..."
The musical combines diverse contemporary theatrical approaches, original music, dance, aerial acrobatics, contemporary circus and real-life stories of activist struggles throughout human history. Pandora attempts to ignite and rekindle with the audience the flame of hope and resistance that generations have shared in their search for justice. Society is still unjust, resistance is still relevant.
"When people have nothing left but hope, rebellion begins!"
The performance won the award for Most Provocative Performance of the Year at the 3rd ZIZ Festival - Days of Maribor Alternative Theatre Production.
