George Kaplan
THE PLAY
A group of young activists discusses launching an anonymous campaign to denounce the western cultural and media system.
A team of scriptwriters works on a story in response to the collapse of the current western system of values.
An important power group (a kind of shadow government) considers how to deal with an unusual threat to the very foundations of our economic and social system.
At all three meetings, the striking, enigmatic name of
George Kaplan circulates from mouth to mouth.
Three stories (or just one?) that explore the political implications of contemporary myths, or how Hollywood projects its own representation of world geopolitics. Not only that, but we learn about Alfred Hitchcock’s involvement in an international plot and how a hen can save humanity.
