The Flugic mate is an opera for children, although many people classify it as a performance for the whole family, since it is characterized by music, movement, prose and the social messages that it leaves to the viewer, such as those of equality, meritocracy, the equality of citizens and the rule of law that should govern every democracy.
The story takes place in the ancient city of Athens, where human society was in complete disorganization and chaos due to the political decline of the institutions and rulers, so, unable to endure this unfavourable situation any longer, human society decided to turn to the gods in order to provide a solution.
So the gods decided to send their messengers to motivate “the magician” to play with the “Magic Flute” a unique tune which the one who will listen to it will be worthy to be crowned king.
Unfortunately for the people, however, this tune is heard by none other than a donkey ….who, at the will of the gods and the consent of the people, will become the new heir to the throne! After a glorious coronation and enthronement of the donkey, quirks and more take place in the society of men, where the concepts of democracy, equality and justice are overturned and the patience of men and gods is tested…
The performance is recommended for children 8+ years old.
