Finding the Wizard of Oz is a satire of the European Union built on the foundations of film that would make Judy Garland a true celluloid star. For the southern countries of EurOZpa, los PIGS (Portugal, Italia, Greece and Spain) A typhoon has passed that has devastated everything and its representatives are heading to the heart of the EU to ask for help. What happens next has some parallels with the news about the Eurogroup that we are receiving these days: the south, with Spain and Italy at the head, faced like never before with the North, to Netherlands, for the opposition of Mark Rutte's government to the creation of any instrument to face the economic crisis. in the play, The PIGS travel through all the European institutions following the blue brick road to ask the witches of the north and west for help (French and Belgian), to the fairy of the east (german) and the magician (British). About this argument and using a lot of clichés, Finding the Wizard of Oz will undress, with live music and lots of humor, the shame of this Europe of ours that boasts so much about being the cradle of humanism, democracy and human rights. Those from the north reject the southerners for having to pay for their waste and laziness; and every country in the south, despite being united with the neighbor for a common cause, thinks he is better than others and is unable to agree. Fear of refugees is the only thing EVERYONE has in common. along the way, Arden Productions does an exhaustive review of all the contradictions of the European Union: the cumbersome institutional structures, the “problem” of languages, corruption, Türkiye knocking on the doors of Europe, the new incorporations from Eastern countries, the sale of weapons… And how do we fix all this mess? Very simple, with a Eurovision Song Contest! S.M.
