HYDRA – Waiting for the Crisis

A powerful, poetic production about being young today – when uncertainty about the future feels more pressing than ever. The play poses the central question: How do you create meaning when the world around you could collapse at any moment?

Two young people spend their days on the beach by the sea, where time almost stands still. The world feels frozen, as if paused right before everything breaks loose. In this waiting period, they attempt to live fully – they laugh, dream, dance, and fight to hold on to hope. Yet the question weighs heavily: what are they willing to sacrifice? Is it their own hopes and dreams, or does reality demand that they make themselves available to society's needs?

Everything is uncertain – what will happen and when. They only know that it will come.
