Peace, Irenaeus, Aristophanes

Aristophanes writes Peace towards the end of the Peloponnesian War, in an Athens bloodless and ruined by the fratricidal fights against Sparta and its allies, and the political troubles which undermine the sovereignty of democracy. Indignant by the demagogic proclamations of all warmongers who persist, in contempt of the people, in the destruction of the illustrious city, the pacifist and pragmatic Aristophanes writes a tale for his fellow citizens: Trygée, a peasant, climbs to Heaven to release Peace imprisoned by the gods of Olympus and bring it back down to earth to the delight of all Athenians.

By updating the play in a staging staged with the 28 high school students, the theater workshop dreamed of a collective celebration of all the young people who claim the right to live together in peace.
