Hope

Cassandra's gift was also her curse: she could see the future – but nobody wanted to believe her prophecies. Even in a time when those in power play a dangerous game with truth and lies, Cassandra remains unheard. Democracies are faltering while authoritarian tendencies are gaining ground worldwide. In Hope, playwright Maria Milisavljević connects mythological figures with events of recent history and unleashes a force that could change everything.

In co-production with NITE Groningen, a multilingual, interdisciplinary theatre event combining dance, music and acting is taking shape – between Germany and the Netherlands, past and present, repression and resistance.
