Inspired by Liliana Nechita’s book Bitter cherries and made after extensive documentation in villages in Vaslui County, ROVEGAN explores the phenomenon of poverty-driven migration from Eastern Europe to the West.
INFORMAȚII
Following the course of a contemporary fairytale, the show fictionalizes the experience of mothers who have to go to work in Italy and questions about the effects of such dislocation on a personal and social level. ROVEGAN takes the form of a storytelling chorus following the story of a family along three generations of women and the way they each understand fighting for a better life.
The performance is part of the trilogy of migration – a project created by eastgowest and ARENA – and was presented as part of GO WEST theatre and debate platform in a national tour co-produced by AFCN, the Administration of the National Cultural Fund.
