MITEN HALUATTE
In this stirring drama, a dispossessed noble grapples with the loss of his title and the betrayal of his own brother, who has seized the lands that were once his. The young heir Orlando, raised among peasants, confronts the harsh reality that his birthright has been reduced to menial labor, sparking a fierce yearning for the education and honor he believes his lineage guarantees.
Set first in a humble garden outside a country house and later moving into the opulent halls of the usurper’s court, the play weaves together witty exchanges and bitter accusations. As Orlando demands the training befitting a lord, the surrounding characters—servants, jesters, and shepherds—reflect the social tensions of a world where power is both inherited and contested. Listeners will be drawn into the clash between duty and desire, and the question of whether justice can be reclaimed when bloodlines are torn apart.
