DEMONSTRANTI

In the organizer's words:

Dedicated to Zbyněk, the one who still has anger in him.

EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE NOW!

If a toilet is leaking, you fix it. You take a screwdriver, a hammer, a rag and do something about it. But what if the only thing left to fix is your family? Society? What are you going to pick up to fix it? A flower? A banner? A Molotov cocktail? What if nothing helps? And what if the demonstration succeeds?

1989, 2000, 2022. Three demonstrations, three uprisings, three generations that leave nothing behind but anger. The world of the fathers must be destroyed! But what comes after that? What about the fathers who survive the end of their own world? And what about the world of mothers and daughters?

Written for Theatre X10, Ondřej Novotný's original play explores today's divided society through the powerful portrayal of a family's inner world. Everyone has a good reason to go to their own demonstration. The family is the foundation of the state. And is a divided family the foundation of a divided state?
