EUROPEANA

One hundred years. Ten actors. Two hours.

This satirical and controversial text compresses a hundred years of European history into a breathless, kaleidoscopic narrative which collides the invention of the brassiere with unspeakable tragedies, Barbie dolls with dictators, and fleeting human moments with epic events.
