Debut: 2 May, 2011

Hemlock – collaboration with "A Origem da Comédia"

Synopsis

Some of the most dramatic and emblematic moments of the life of the Greek philosopher Socrates are recovered in Hemlock, according to representations of him in Plato’s plays. The paths of love and philosophy, virtue and death are pursued in pictures of passion and tragicomedy that lead to the confrontation of a man’s justice with power.
