Synopsis:
The performance was inspired by one of the basic myths of the Hoia-forest near Cluj-Napoca, according to which a shepherd with two hundred sheep once disappeared without a trace in the forest, famous for its paranormal phenomena. However, the popular legend is only the starting point of the story: in parallel with the events from the past, we can see the age-specific struggles and turbulent relationship of a high school couple today, which is fatefully intertwined with the legend of the past.
The issues raised in the presentation primarily invite the high school age group to dialogue, the thematic issues range from the crisis of relationships, through the social expectations of different ages, to responsibility. The lecture was written with the intention of educating, so we also invite students to a conversation, which we hope will result in an open and useful exchange of ideas along the issues raised by the show.
The length of the presentation is 30 minutes and the conversation is an additional 30 minutes.
