„Republic of baklava” is a theatrical pseudo-documentary inspired by the historical events of the 1821 Greek war of independence, but set in our modern, digitally-connected, world. Its theme is two young people’s attempt to free themselves from the weight of age-old stereotypes of hostility and invent a new identity for themselves.pria A group of “researchers” are invited on stage to reconstruct the history of the tiny nation, its birth, conflicts and heritage. Based on a series of fictional, surreal and comic situations, the show explores issues of identity and political organisation through the filter of the present day. The performance was presented with great success at the Athens Festival 2021.
