About event

comedy about snobbism, love, morality and prejudice, or a star of a diplomatic party in just three months. The sculptor who created the statue of the Aphrodite of ivory and fell in love with his work. The goddess then heard his pleas and revived the statue. The most famous processing of this theme is certainly the play George Bernard Shaw. The famous musical version my fair lady took this option perfectly. Shaw, however, stayed against this romantic version of the story. He named his game pygmalion , and he was a sculptor of an extremely narcissistic nature, unable to make contact that would create a statue - a woman in his own image. Shaw was a magnificent ironic: The man teaches a woman to speak, but he can't talk to her. He was quite a harsh provocateur, he enjoyed outrage, even let Lisza express himself very vulgar - that was absolutely scandalous on the Victorian scene, it used to be a time. industry in our country). The classic work is also updated by a not acting on the aesthetics of Steampunk, not only in scenography, costumes and props.
