NTNG 2016: Mother Courage and her Children, tv spot

Launch: Theatre of the Society for Macedonian Studies, 20/10/2016
Director’s Note
I think that Mother Courage is a great play of particular interest to the Greek audience since it reflects the current condition of the country. It is sad, but I have the impression that Greece today is a Mother Courage. As is, also, Serbia. In the foreground, however, is not so much the futility of war but the futility of greed. Moreover, greed is one of the main characteristics of the world in which we live. Almost everything happens because of greed. Due to our small, selfish personal interests, we lose big, incomparably more valuable things. Mother Courage loses her children. Moreover, we could see another phenomenon: one generation (the oldest) sold the other (the younger). Finally, I am concerned that this very moment millions of people look for a more tranquil and decent place to live. Mother Courage is a theatre production that refers to all these issues.
