What is our new theatre play about?

​

Life is unpredictable and it shapes us to be flexible but over the past two years, we lived through another level of extremes when we couldn’t rely on what would happen even in the next hour, let alone a month. Pandemic rules brought contrasting experiences. Some of us were relieved to finally slow down, the others became frustrated and bored. Some worked, even more, others lived in constant fear. Eventually, we all became overwhelmed by it all. And with the most recent world events, it seems that when one crisis passes, another reveals in the endless circle of life. We find ourselves constantly living beyond norms and extremes become the new norm.

 

Slovak Theatre in London reflects on the biggest event of the past decade, which globally impacted the life of every individual.  Contrasting pandemic situations portrayed in a colourful collage of scenes and characters, this is a one-of-a-kind experience to witness. Through collaborative devising, the artists explore the patterns of behaviour of society and individuals in a time of catastrophe. While this stage of our lives might already seem distant, their artistic treatment emphasizes the experience of crisis rather than the event itself, as it desires to serve as a mirror to challenge opinions and call to new perspectives. Ultimately, the show, filled with both seriousness and humour, offers a collective therapy through art.
