_____________________________" The Caucasian Chalk Circle" speaks to us, who live in these materialistic and property-obsessed times, of the Idea of ownership, it ask us to consider: What do we own?How Much? Why do we own it? Do we need it?Do we have a right to own anything? Do we own anything at all?
The Caucasian Chalk Circle tells a parable that explores what happens when the law conflicts with justice and asks questions about who is right and wrong in complicated situations. Setting up the play, a Prologue introduces the idea that things should be given to those who will take care of them as two farms dispute ownership of a valley. Once an agreement has been reached, the villagers put on a play—The Caucasian Chalk Circle._
