The Remembrance
Anna Datiashvili (CZ)

"The Remembrance" is a participatory theater installation for up to 10 players. What stories do the bricks hide in the walls of the houses we inhabit? Have you ever heard of Babylon? What distances have been crossed in your story and what do you see when you look back?
