Description

Witness a tragicomedy that unfolds against the backdrop of contemporary Europe and its vibrant theatrical landscape. Enter the world of a jury faced with the daunting challenge of selecting the inaugural winner of the European Theatre Festival, modelled after the Eurovision Song Contest.

A staggering 52 countries present their shows, each vying for the coveted title of The Best European Show. Little do they know that the task at hand is far more complex than anyone could have anticipated. As the decisive night approaches, a web of politics, private ambitions, love affairs, and audacious artistic visions intertwines, creating a riveting narrative.

The stakes are set sky-high, and the pressure intensifies with each passing moment. Just when it seems like everything is under control, chaos ensues, and almost everything that can go wrong does. The last night becomes a whirlwind of unexpected twists.

But the drama doesn’t end on the stage. The audience becomes an integral part of the spectacle, and suddenly, the entire theatre scene across Europe is shaken to its core. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of emotions where tragedy and comedy collide, leaving an indelible mark on the world of European theatre.
