Father

“Father, based on the play of the same name by F. Zeller, is a performance about the human mind’s need to stay awake—a consciousness that once worked like the mechanism of a perfect clock. The show portrays the life of a man suffering from dementia, who oscillates between reality and memory. It is a deeply moving tragicomedy about ageing, illness, the fear of loneliness, and the fear of losing oneself. It is the story of a father who goes through all stages of life, from childhood to old age, guided by his daughter. The performance is like a continuous struggle to keep consciousness awake through love.” - Dumitru Acriș, director
