About event
Behind seven mountains, behind seven mines and seven border crossings, in a country where tears are shed and sorrow pours, where flowers barely bud, they have already bloomed, in a region where almost no one is left, there is one small, shabby and barely functional hotel, where a mother, daughter and one employee carry out the honest hotel trade.
What consequences can it have when will we decide to return after many years?
And who knows if it even makes sense to leave, if the grass is really greener somewhere, or even drier and more burnt than here. Sad news from a sad country is a hyperbolic answer not only to this question, but also a reflection on what are the motivations for leaving. It doesn't have to be just physical. Unclear communication can lead to fatal conclusions. A game inspired by Camus, who in turn was inspired by a newspaper report and his travels across Europe. A production about the search, hope, meaning and the non-existent god. A little bit of Beckett, a little bit of Burton or Kafka, but definitely life itself in its biggest existential crisis and the mire we fall into. Maybe even Godot himself will stay in the charmingly ugly. Or would you rather not even come? Let's wait. We'll see. We have hope.
