There have always been those who crave power, and those who blindly follow them. Those who inspire change, and those who are able to use it to their own advantage.

All the animals on the farm were united by a dream of freedom that would bring them a happy life. This dream had enormous power, and their oppressors were overthrown. Now they are free and equal! So it was announced. But soon it became clear that although “all animals are equal, some animals are more equal than others.”

The performance is an Orwellian allegory of our time, where the concept of freedom is influenced not only by totalitarian politics, but also by our own choices and responsibility.

The production was created with the support of the State Culture Capital Foundation.
