Événement
The Lower Depths
The Lower Depths is set just five years before the communist
revolution that changed Eastern Europe forever. Gorky created a play with human problems: poverty,illness, ill-timed and misdirected love, and above all, the
knowledge of how everything could be so much better and no way to achieve it because power sits in the hands of the few. Gorky gives us a glimpse into the problems of a people
who took up arms against reality and attempt to create a
Utopia. What we find is that these problems and their initial solutions were not specific to Russia
at all. The philosophical discourse of this play easily
applies to America today, and shows us that perhaps what is said in the penthouse offices of Wall
Street is not at all very different from what was said in
the Kremlin at the height of its power. Everything in the play takes a perspective of historical accuracy within a faux modern context.
