Our performance, Lina, is inspired by real events without aiming to reenact them. It tells the story of a public shaming, a so-called local electoral ‘sexgate’ that captivated the 1990s. The performance focuses on a slice of life of innocent people who end up being used as pawns in major political games, becoming victims of media lynching.
This production is the third part of the Injustice Trilogy, written by playwright Alexandra Felseghi and directed by Adina Lazăr, completing a panoramic view of Romanian society by addressing real and recognizable events for the audience, presented through the lens of fiction.
The audience is presented with a cascade of events converging toward the central idea of the performance: that life is entirely dependent on the context in which we live, that there is a Great History shaping our own course in one way or another, but once every five years, we have the chance to improve this History.
