What does it mean to keep caring, when the system sucks you dry? What is left of dedication when you yourself become tired and powerless?
This solo performance is vulnerable, powerful and steeped in tenderness. A loving, critical portrait of a profession in crisis and a human being who keeps trying.
Followed by a panel discussion with Bert Roman and The Pink Cube, moderated by Marion Wasserbauer.
