The Hands of God (Las manos de dios-1957)
by Carlos Solórzano Fernández
A play in three acts
The countdown for a redeeming ceremony .
An artistic approach to the play “The Hands of God”, written by the latin-american writer Carlos Solosnano. The play was translated in Greek and adapted especially to be performed by this group of young artists. A ritual drama, starting with religion, it results in a total disputation of power, sneering at this awkward and frightened part of society.A myth, a sacred story presented as the absolute truth. Archetypal symbols and moral values are reversed to create an ironic, comic and melancholic atmosphere. In a society dominated by money and the Church, the self-sacrifice of a young girl leads to the destruction of the model of human behavior and cultural values.
