Performances STRANGERS + SWEET ADDICTIONS

19.00 - 20.00:

STRANGERS by Theatre BELOE is a contemporary physical theatre performance exploring migration, identity, and the fragile idea of belonging.

Created through documentary research and personal stories developed by the students of Theatre BELOE, the performance becomes a mosaic of memories, movement, languages, and lived experiences. Each performer brings their own journey to the stage — stories of leaving, arriving, losing, and reinventing home.

Who is the stranger?
The one who leaves, or the one who stays?

Through a visceral physical language, Strangers explores the labels we receive and the labels we place on others: immigrant, foreigner, outsider. At the heart of the performance lies the question:

Did I abandon my country, or did my country abandon me?

Poetic, intimate, and deeply human, Strangers reflects a generation constantly moving between borders, identities, and the search for belonging — until we realize that, in the end, all of us are strangers.

Director: Maria Fokina

Co-creator: Daria Reverdin
