The production is part of Vaba Lava’s “I have a Dream” curator program. While this season’s curator Jakub Skrzywanek focuses on the dream as a bright future, Belarusian-born director Mikita Ilyinchyk sees things in a different light. “When you combine a dream with a dream, tragedy inevitably follows.”
The play is about a dystopian world in 2060 where Europe has been replaced with the Euro-Islamic Union, which is run by Fem-Jihad. The activities take place in the Estonian border town of Narva, which now has the Euro-Islamic Genocide Institute.
Everyone has their dreams. Like us, they dream of a secure and safe future. But, is Europe a place for someone else’s dream? Have we arrived in Europe or are we still part of Eastern Europe? A battleground between Russia and Europe?
“We are going to reflect the social responsibility of my generation, which is inheriting a very difficult political gift. ” – Mikita Ilyinchyk, 30 years old.
