Live, three cities—Lugano, Basel, and Johannesburg—will be connected with the audience in the theater to watch on the big screen the live adventure of a group of young people on a night out in Johannesburg.
They were born in the early 2000s, a decade after the end of apartheid, into a world of economic crises, incendiary wars, and hysteria fueled by propaganda. Their reality is multicultural, yet unjust. They do not believe in a single God. Some have lost their faith altogether. They are curious, sad, angry, ironic, vulnerable—and they do not hide their vulnerability; they turn it into a weapon.
In an odyssey that blends the Nouvelle Vague and Tarantino, a captivating portrait of a generation takes shape before our eyes.
