19, 20 and 21 October 2011
at 20.00
Pleciuga Puppet Theatre
Square Teatralny 1, Szczecin 71-0403
Dedicated to Anna Politkovskaya and Natalia
Estemirova
Russian writers and human right activists, murdered by anonymous
thugs in 2006
and 2009 for their opposition to the Chechnyan conflict.
CHARACTERS: a Black Madonna, the
widow of a Basque officer, a Chechnyan refugee, a Rumanian
housewife, a Danish lawyer, a rock musician from the Faroe Islands,
a Colombian boy searching for his father disappeared in Europe, an
Italian street violinist, two mercenaries.
The Chronic Life takes place simultaneously in
different countries of Europe in 2031, after the third civil war.
Individuals and groups with different backgrounds come together and
challenge each other driven by uprooting war and unemployment. A
boy arrives from Latin America in search of his father who has
inexplicably disappeared. "Stop searching for your father" people
tell him while escorting him from door to door.
It is neither knowledge nor innocence that saves the boy. A new
ignorance helps him to discover his door. Amid the bewilderment of
all of us who no longer believe in the unbelievable: that just one
victim is worth more than any value. More than God.
