(Pen)ultimate Panda or Static

Bühnen Halle | neues theater & Thalia Theater  In his award-winning play The (Pen)ultimate Panda or Statics, Dino Pešut sensitively and impressively paints a picture of a generation caught between stagnation, upheaval, and a new beginning. In doing so, no path can be walked alone, and a loud narrative can only emerge collectively.

(Pen)ultimate Panda or Static

In the distant future, one of them might become a mayor, one will live in a loft with large bookshelves, one will wear expensive designer clothes, and one will still wander around the same nightclub as before. In this way, and entirely different ways, Marin, Luka, Ana, and Marija constantly imagine the paths they will take (or not). First, as children, then as teenagers and young adults, they tell their stories together about life's everyday situations – friendship, love, fear, violence, the search for identity, and the growing pains that come with it. One thing that primarily connects this group is that they were all born in 1990 in Sisak, Croatia. They all spent their childhood during the war, which, long after its end, still echoes among them.

In his award-winning play The (Pen)ultimate Panda or Statics, Dino Pešut sensitively and impressively depicts the picture of a generation caught between stagnation, upheaval, and a new beginning. In doing so, no path can be walked alone, and a loud narrative can only emerge collectively. With the German premiere of this play, director Christoph Macha once again, in a fun and playful way, explores the fundamental question: How do we tell our stories despite all adversity and in the face of the world?
