A Building narrates its life from the first day people raised it upon its feet till today.\u00a0 In a time span of 100 years it has changed many names: Central Market, Headquarters, shelter for fire victims, Central Bank, Command Post, Hospital, First State University, Police, abandoned building.\u00a0 The building\u2019s monologue parades a century of war and peace, disaster and hope, all witnessed by a manmade construction whose blessing of longevity is also its curse: it is forced to witness the circle of human history repeating itself.\u00a0 Therefore, now that it has become a Theatre Hall, it has decided to talk to the people watching from their seats and ask the audience a huge favour: to bring it down so that it won\u2019t have to stand witness to the same things for yet one more time.<\/p>\n
The play has been translated in Spanish (by Dimitris Psarras and Marta Migu\u00e9lez S\u00e1nchez) and in English (by Penny Fylaktaki, ed. by David Connolly)<\/p>\n
