Plato’s Cave

A performance with dance, music and video art.

What is the cave today? What is the chain on people's legs? Even two and a half thousand years after the world-famous philosopher, whose thinking still influences the whole of civilisation today, questions like these have not lost a bit of their topicality.

The artificial reality of “shadows”, the awakening, the quest, the discovery, the consequences are dramatized and emotionally presented through contemporary choreographies and projections from contemporary life. The original music score of the performance and the powerful video art are reinforcing the dramaturgy of the performance.
