Based on the original text by Damir Karakaš
THE AVIATORS
In a world tumbling down, the darkest truths break loose.
Premiere: &TD Theatre Zagreb (2021)
The play was created under specific circumstances of epidemiological restrictions, which also shaped its working process: a month of table readings during which the actors and creative team jointly developed an almost entirely new text and a distinct performance language. The play is set in a semi-apocalyptic world where the return of a gay son to the family home unsettles already fragile relationships and allows long-suppressed and dark — yet the only authentic — family dynamics to resurface. The play is marked by a strong dramatic atmosphere, saturated with constant tension and sense of anxiety.
