THE REPUBLIC
The majority is never right. That is the biggest social lie ever told. Every free citizen must protest against it. Who is the majority in the vote? The stupid or the intelligent? I hope you will agree that the stupid are everywhere, forming an overwhelming majority. And I think that is not a sufficient reason for the stupid to rule over others. Drown my words with your shouting! You do not know how to answer me in any other way. Listen: the majority has the strength, but it is not right. I am right and some others are right. The minority is always right.
Dr. Stockmann.
Enemy begins the celebration of the 30 years of Teatro La República. It is an adaptation of the original work by Henrik Ibsen, for some the father of modern drama and one of the authors who has most influenced contemporary theatre.
An Enemy of the People was published in 1882 and is considered an immortal work about the corruption of power, the concept of democracy and the manipulation of the media in the service of that same power.
Enemy is a controversial work. Apart from the original plot, the theory that the most dangerous enemy of reason and freedom is the opinion of the majority, continues to be a suggestive argument and causes a wide debate.
The text exudes blackmail, environmental threats, lies as a political weapon, the manipulation of the masses by the press, misinformation, the discrediting of opponents or the concealment of corruption, problems that are still fully relevant today.
Enemy is a captivating story wrapped in a surprising reflection on the concept of democracy. A work that does not lose relevance, very necessary in these times where the risk of telling the truth in the framework of this anesthetized, insensitive and asleep society is very high.
Co-production of the Teatro Cuyás Cabildo de Gran Canaria
