Production specifics

Produced by steirischer herbst ʼ23 in coproduction with Vaba Lava
With the kind support of Linda Kaks OÜ and the Estonian Embassy in Vienna
In his latest performance, Giacomo Veronesi collaborates with citizens residing in the Estonian-Russian border city of Narva, some of whom have been living with gray “aliensʼ passports” since the collapse of the Soviet Union. In a time newly obsessed with maps and borders, Veronesi invites the audience to engage with undefined states of citizenship and their potential labels in an age of war, challenging the notion of Europe and its perceived boundaries.
