Kiki's Story
„Why can't I give up control, and be spontaneous?” Kiki's question triggers the game off. She gives parts and lines to her companions in the psychodrama group, ready to re-play scenes from the protagonist's past. Thanks to the intimate and warm atmosphere of the group and the inspired guidance of the drama leaders, she can re-live moments of her life - this time with passion. In Kiki's story unfolds a tragedy that seems familiar to people on the East Central European scene.
