The Caucasian Chalk Circle (Der kaukasische Kreidekreis)
| Synopsis: |
In the play-within-a-play story, The Singer relates a parable about a country where the members of the ruling class keep overthrowing one another, a young serving girl named Grushna saves the heir of the provincial governor, and a wily motor mouth named Azdak rises to an influential position thanks to his unintentional moment of class treason. When the governor’s heir becomes a pawn in the government’s power struggle, the powerful Azdak must decide not only the young man’s fate, he must also determine whether he is himself still a revolutionary or the pawn of the oppressors. |
