Based on the powerful autobiography by Ruben Gallego, “White on Black” is a deeply moving performance that speaks to the resilience of the human spirit.

Born with cerebral palsy and separated from his family, a young boy grows up in Soviet orphanages unequipped to care for children with disabilities. In a world of silence, pain, and isolation, he discovers strength in observation, imagination, and ultimately, the written word.

Told through poetic visuals and physical theatre, “White on Black” invites you into his inner world — where immobile hands can still tell stories, and where suffering becomes a bridge to connection, empathy, and truth.

Selected for an international theatre festival in Romania, this performance will be a special premiere with a new cast, right before the ensemble travels to present the piece abroad.

After the show, we invite you to stay for a conversation with the actors — a relaxed gathering over a glass of prosecco, where you can ask questions, share impressions, and learn more about the creative journey behind the performance.

A story of courage, creativity, and the power of expression beyond limitation.

Reserve your seat now and witness a story that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.
