🏢
A typical Bucharest apartment. Three young people living together and a war starting nearby. A looming crisis. Another one that is already happening. War as a spectacle, broadcast live on social networks and on television. The dialogue. The hope.
“The Common Room” is an emotional foray into an uncertain present and a dystopian future. How can we act in a world marked by climate crisis, energy crisis and war? What does solidarity mean today? How do we stop people’s fear and disappointment from being confiscated? How can we understand them and how can they become hope? The performance will be followed by a discussion with the audience.

❗❗
Attention, the show contains scenes that can have a strong emotional impact and special effects (stage smoke).
