Lysistrata
One of the performances, which the Drama Theater (Kursk) offers its viewers, is called "Lysistrata". This is a production in today's popular genre - a musical. The play was created based on the comedy of Aristophanes. The story told by the musical happened a very long time ago - 25 centuries ago. All this happened where the powerful gods of Olympus were born. Greece was torn by internecine wars for several decades. All men fought: from the highest husbands of the state to slaves. They killed, robbed, left their homes unattended. Ending the war decides Lysistrata. She collects all the women of Greece and urges them not to share the conjugal lodges with their husbands until they stop fighting and the world reigns between Sparta and Athens. At first, women argue for a long time, bicker, but, in the end, agree with her plan. Lysistratus leads them away, and they take refuge in the Acropolis. Now men must choose what is more important for them - war or love.
The production of Lysistrata is colorful, fascinating, unforgettable, with humor, dance and music. A positive charge of energy and a good mood are provided to those who come to see the performance at the Kursk Drama Theater.
