Άγγελοι στην Αμερική

Tony Kushner’s Angels in America: Millenium Approaches is a profoundly political work, regarded as one of the most significant contemporary theatrical plays. Through escalating conflicts, the crisis reveals itself on a political, sexual, religious, economic, ecological, healthcare, and most importantly, moral level. The Reagan US administration echoes the era we live in, marked by the rise of the extreme right.

Our times unmistakably resemble that very period. In the wake of the global economic downturn, rigidly adhering to “normality” sparks the resentment of citizens who desperately seek solutions. The seeming sexual freedom of our times continues to be plagued with crimes against diversity, and fueled by public hate speech. Despair often leads to a dramatic turn towards religion, seeking guidance in a desperate attempt to find solutions. We, people, have already destroyed the planet. Corruption by public figures and institutions is indeed unfathomable, whereas one political scandal follows another. The citizens’ trust in politicians is long lost—a fully disoriented society. Last but not least, the Covid 19 pandemic has shattered norms and fractured global solidarity, while spreading panic and death.
