WORMWOOD

by
Catherine Czerkawska


  Pripyat, a town in Ukraine. Newly built  in 1970, it was
a model town in many respects, and people felt privileged
   to be living there. Since the nuclear accident at nearby
Chernobyl in April 1986, Pripyat has been a ghost town.

At the opening of the play, radio-ecologist Natalia
revisits the town that had been her home years before.
She slips away from a group of scientists to relive
    her very personal memories of those fateful days. We
    meet her fiancé Viktor who worked at the nuclear plant,
her sister Tanya with her fireman husband Stephan,
 and their son Anton.

"Why did it happen?"
"What would have happened if...?"
In search of answers, we are led to explore
  the "concept of unlikeliness".



 
To be performed  January 31, February 1, 2 and  3,
2012 in Aula Geibelstr. at 19.30
