The play explores the power of the arts in general, and theatre in particular, as a tool for resisting the rise in violence and war in contemporary society. Erika is a Jewish woman born in Germany who now lives in Madrid. She is the director of a cadet residence and the central figure in the story. She is caught in a conflict between two residents: Adrian, who is preparing to enter the Spanish Army, and Khalil, a Syrian refugee training to enter drama school.

About Enebro Teatro

Enebro Teatro presents this political new writing piece that explores the power of theatre as a tool for resisting violence and war in contemporary society. Erika is a Jewish woman born in Germany who now lives in Madrid, working as the director of a cadet residence. She is caught in a conflict between two residents: Adrian, who is preparing to enter the Spanish Army, and Khalil, a Syrian refugee training to enter drama school. The play is performed at Theatre 1, runs for 50 minutes and is suitable for ages 12 and over. Tickets are £12.

Why see this show?

A timely new play that uses a single institution and three characters to ask large questions about art, militarism and belonging. The tension between Adrian's and Khalil's paths through Erika's residence makes for a genuinely charged dramatic set-up.
