After a long time, we are playing Occupy Yourself again. The production is the first collaboration of the team with director Cosmin Matei and is based on the book entitled In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Dr. Máté Gábor, and on the actors’ own texts. The theme of the performance is addiction and its mechanisms: it is not exclusively about alcohol or drug addiction, but about those daily dependencies that are fully accepted by society, but they have the same mechanism as the more notable addictions. The show was created following the team’s participation in a seven-day creation camp at Chidea, as well as their participation in a drug addiction center at Ozd, Mureș county.
We have participated with this show at numerous festivals, and in two of them we have been awarded: we won the Special Jury Award at the Marathon of Independent Theaters /Bucharest Fringe, and the „Award for the power and efficiency of proactive performativity in changing the perception of addiction” at ITF Butterfly Effect in Galati.
We are looking forward to seeing you on May 24, from 20 o’clock @ ZUG!
