______________________________

35 brief scenes capture fragments of reality in a relentless channel surfing stage.
a heartfelt tribute to the Incomplete.
a bizzare mosaic theatrical experience.
an urban swimmer is looking for the sea | a woman in quest of her identity in a fragmented, absurd, and ridiculous world.
______________________________

Postdramatic is a 53-minute solo performance that explores everyday reality through a fragmented, ever-shifting theatrical landscape. Blurring the line between the personal and the political, the playful and the unsettling, it attempts to uncover the hidden depths of ordinary experiences through a nonlinear sequence of 35 short, self-contained scenes, each lasting between 1 and 5 minutes and intentionally left unfinished.
At its core is the journey of a female urban swimmer looking for the sea - a poetic metaphor for the quest for identity in a world that is often irrational and disorienting.
Rather than providing answers or delivering a specific message, the performance encourages the audience to discover their own meaning within the chaos of contemporary urban reality.
