The Land of the Sad Dogs

A story about growing up and the scars that growing up leaves on us. A story about the unbearable burdens that the family imposes on us. It is about the gap between the generations, the relationship between the periphery and the urban centres, the question of the emancipation of the son and the mother in a patriarchal world.

A movement and object performance for an adult audience based on the exploration of the building blocks of individual identity through various figures of motherhood, in which the question of religion also plays a special role and creates an ideological framework for the perception of the figure of the mother as something more than (just) human.

Premiere: October 2025, Tunnel LGL
