This is the first production of Teatrul Tinetului in the project UNLOCK THE CITY!, financed through the Creative Europe 2021–2027 programme, developed by an international network of theatres, academies, and universities, which creates a context for reflection on the way in which the performing arts, in association with scholarly research, can contribute to a rethinking of the landscape of post-pandemic cities.
