The scene takes place at Suse, in front of the Persian’s royal palace. Xerxes’ mother and the chorus of the Faithful, chosen to keep guard over the country, are awaiting the return of the king and his countless troops – a return that can be nothing but triumphant since the Greek army is so inferior in number. And yet, a brooding premonition has troubled the Queen mother… There is a certain consistency in Py’s train of thought and the admiration he has for Aeschylus. He has already adapted and directed five of Aeschylus’s tragedies over the last three seasons. And now comes The Persians, yet again in the spirit of his “theater of intervention”, which will allow the handful of actors to perform, as was done with the two preceding ones, in urban spaces where theater is not usually performed.
