Set in the Golden Age of Athens, Hellenika is a journey into the world’s first democracy, examining how its unraveling can illuminate our present path.

The story charts the last 33 years of Sokrates’ life, and the life of his teacher—a brilliant woman named Aspasia—and the effect she had on his teachings.

At its core, this musical explores the fragility of democratic institutions, the importance of raising your voice against injustice, and the power of ideas to shape society.
