Dog Days
“If you ever remember this summer in Greece, the palm trees on fire and the cigarette butts in the dust by the road, if you ever remember – you won’t know what.”
The southernmost city in the EU. The island on which Calypso held Ulysses prisoner for seven years. At one point, it had more than 8000 inhabitants, but erosion and the depletion of natural resources – particularly water – led to a dramatic decrease in population. Most of the visitors are adventurers who come here to “find themselves”. Like Jamie, whose relationship with Julia has run its course. The heat in Greece is truly extreme, wildfires are common, and Julia arrives to try and awaken for the last time the nearly extinguished emotions between her and Jamie. They decide to try a strange experiment. A corpse is found by the roadside. Climate change has fatal effects on people’s behaviour. How was your summer? Unusually, the performance will be presented outside of MeetFactory, at the Altenburg 1964 boat near the Troja Bridge in Holešovice (Partyzánská 18/23).
