About the performance:

“Aeschylus dedicated three plays to Prometheus, but only one of them - "Prometheus Bound" has survived. In this play by Aeschylus, the man fights to save humanity. Zeus punished Prometheus. However, Prometheus still continues to fight and does not give up on his heroic behavior. Finally, he withstands all the obstacles. Nowadays, when the world has changed so drastically, a dictatorship has suddenly risen and tries to enslave people, the name of this mythological hero is very precious. God wants to teach the lesson to people who have become too brazen and equal themselves with gods. This is exactly what we see in the world today.” – Robert Sturua
