Today’s civilization meets the future generations, forcing them to accept a certain normal, which civilization itself provides as a suitable circumstance for existence. However, when in that apparently functional and prosperous normal we witnessed grave catastrophes in the past couple of years, we wanted to believe that maybe war, disease, social slavery, consumerism and emotional and moral downfall…
The play Shopping and Fucking, much like its scenario, are not attempting at an answer or some kind of a solution to current problems, but ask questions, believing that they will manage to reach the theatregoer and will prompt a meaningful conversation on the topics that it refers to.
WE FORGET, REMAIN INDIFFERENT AND ALLOW OURSELVES TO IGNORE THE UNPLEASANT, NOT REALIZING THE NEARNESS AND IMMINENTITY OF THAT FATEFUL DOOM. WITH THIS ATTITUDE WE SLOWLY LOSE CONTACT WITH OURSELVES AND JUST LIKE THE CHARACTERS IN THE DRAMA, WE BECOME PART OF (AND CONTINUE) THE SYSTEM WE DESPISE.
