The theater performance of George Orwell ‘Animal farm’ premieres on the stage of the National Theater directed by Driada Dervishi.

One of the most popular political allegories of the twentieth century, “Animal Farm” takes us into the post-revolutionary political world, where liberators become oppressors and the oppressed end up in the grinding machine of history. The performance will be on stage on August 24 in Vlora, on August 26 in Durres and then on August 28 in Shkodra.

“Animal Farm” is a satirical novel. It was first published in England in August 1945. The main events took place at Mener farm, where a revolution occurred so the animals overthrew the owner and took control. After much discussion, the animals decided that the smartest animals, the pigs, should take the leader’s place. Thus, the pig, Napoleon became the main leader with promises of fraternity and equality. He convinced everyone that the path to the future lay in freedom, where each animal would work for themselves, free from human greed. However, it did not take long before these promises turned into rules that once again bound the animals.
