Our Daily Hunger
Calendar
Audience and artists recreate together the plan of a very less known Romanian philanthropist of the early 90s to cure ”our daily hunger”: a dinner party with friends. An immersive experience that explores the nature of poverty in Romania, the relation between actual social change and the artistic process, the conflict between reality and fiction and how we consume it in performance.
