Theatrical Group KLEPSYRA presents the acclaimed play by author Thanasis Triaridis, “How to Throw a Baby into the Sea and Democracy to Triumph,” directed and choreographed by Katerina Bouzani, at the New World Theatre for a limited number of performances.
This production serves as a powerful outcry, a theatrical work that embodies the urgent nature of contemporary political and social tragedy. It aims to confront the audience with the uneasy yet culpable reality of European consciousness.
✍️ Author’s Note
“I constantly think about the children and their mothers who drown when the coast guards of ‘civilized’ Europe overturn their boats or sink their ships… I hope that at the end of the performance, every spectator knows that while they were seated, more men, women, and children were murdered at sea. This crime happens in the silence of our indifference, our tolerance, and our complicity.”
— Thanasis Triaridis, August 2024
