Discussion with refreshments after the performance
A feeling of tension, a guivering nervousseness that can be evacuated neither physically not mentally. As we enter the fourth year of war, in what ways are such tensions echoed in those who have settled in Brno and its surroundings? The (un)distant past seems to blend with the present full of a quest for hope… What is the eveveryday reality of those who live abroad like? What did they bring with them? What have they written? And what about the declining concern from others? Nine different life experiences in one whole: scenes from the testimonies of authors, a house walkthrough, a collage of various topics. Germs of stories, monologues, a documentary, and verses. A performative lecture as well as an acting sketch.
