TW! The play contains disturbing videos
The world in 2060 exists only in our imagination. What will Europe look like? What will Estonia be like? Is a Euro-Islamic Union possible? What would happen if we were ruled by a Fem Jihad? Would we have the courage to say hello to each other?
In Narva, the border city between Europe and Russia, there are people who yearn for security, a sense of home and belonging – whether they were born here or come from further afield. But whose dreams does the future of Europe allow? Are we ready to share our land, our culture and our values with those looking for a new home?
Creating a better tomorrow, the play judges people whose acts, motivated by hatred and fear, have damaged many lives and souls.
It is a dystopian production using documentary material from the Belarusian-Polish border.
