Symposium

In Plato's Symposium, a group of distinguished men in ancient Athens gather to offer speeches in praise of Eros, exploring love's role in shaping human desire and understanding. The dialogue evolves from practical reflections to profound insights, with each speaker challenging and building upon the last. Central to this discourse is Socrates, who guides the conversation beyond mere admiration to view love as a force connected to knowledge and higher truth. Narrated by Paul Landergan, this production captures the intellectual depth and lasting significance of Plato's exploration of human connection.
