Symposium

At a gathering in ancient Athens, a group of distinguished men assemble for an evening of wine, conversation, and philosophical challenge. Each is tasked with delivering a speech in praise of Eros—the force of love that shapes human desire, ambition, and understanding.

In Symposium, Plato presents a series of perspectives that move from the practical to the profound. Love is explored as a source of courage, a guide to beauty, and ultimately, a path toward higher truth. As each speaker builds upon—or challenges—the last, the dialogue unfolds into one of philosophy’s most enduring examinations of human connection.

At the center stands Socrates, whose reflections shift the discussion beyond admiration and into inquiry, revealing love not merely as emotion, but as a force tied to knowledge, aspiration, and the pursuit of the eternal.

Narrated with clarity and restraint by Paul Landergan, this production preserves the intellectual richness and timeless relevance of Plato’s work, inviting listeners into a conversation that has resonated for over two millennia.
