The Party Queen

About the project

A site-specific performance presented at the independent theatre festival in Acre, inspired by Alexander Kuprin's novel "Gambrinus." Transforming it into a promenade, the narrative follows the journey of a young musician, guiding the audience through the path of wars, repressions, and revolutions, ultimately leading to profound hope. The story conveys the idea that even in the depths of hell, humanity can endure, and beautiful music can resonate.

Probably, this is our first production where we contemplate the idea that people might be able to cope after all.

**Just three days after the premiere, war erupted in Israel.
