It's a very exciting process as we are discussing and reflecting on the current political situation in the world, our opinions, how we change opinions and all the -isms (nationalism, populism, feminism....). Premiere is on 24th Oct 2019 at 7 PM at ufaFabrik. Starring Ona Nurkalla, Olivia Dean, Benjamin Bishop, Peter Scollin and Marcela Dias.

PROGRAM FOR SEP '19 - FEB '20 IS ONLINE

Dear teachers,

The new show, SAFESTAY HOSTEL, is for senior student 16+. It’s a self-devised play based on autobiographic material of the actors, each of whom comes from a different country. It’s about the individual and his or her place in society. We are enjoying developing this piece, exploring our own origins, our political and idealogical positions and reflecting on what’s happening on the world stage now. The premiere is on October 24th in the ufaFabrik at 7 p.m.
