REPUBLIC

Hoi Polloi creates a dream-like theatrical experience that tackles the massive moral questions raised by Socrates in Plato’s Republic, against a shifting backdrop of characters and settings. An intimate audience joins their symposium, addressing a fundamental human question: Why be good? The result is an adventure that stimulates both the senses and the synapses.
