The Mikro Polytechneio and Korais Damatis present the play “Schopenhauer, our Teacher”, based upon five prize-winning plays which were awarded at the 7th Athens Pocket Theatre Festival Competition (December 2015), held at the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation Black Box. Five young playwrights capture the multiple faces of the misery of modern life in various European cities, with strong doses of sarcasm and wit. Their prize-winning plays unite the cries of two of Schopenhauer’s crows.
