We wonder: what would a world look like with no criminals, no prisoners — a world where the victorious “system” had only its own achievements to celebrate?
We imagine a state that has no need for police at all.
"…there would be no crime — there would be no criminals — there would be no — criminals — there would be no — prisons — there would be no prisons — there would be no police."
Written in the genre of absurdism, this play explores the grotesque nature of power and bureaucracy.
Its core concept is the absurd escalation of a state's need to manufacture an enemy — a world where control becomes the ultimate goal, and the system inevitably turns on itself.
City Theater is a fully independent, multifunctional space — one that we are literally building with our own hands. For the past three years, we’ve been working to create a place where theater lovers, students, and emerging artists can connect with the inner world of theater: to see behind the scenes, witness the process, engage with a real working environment — and create themselves.
With us, student directors, set designers, actors and other aspiring artists take their first steps. They are actively involved in every aspect of production — from set construction and costume creation to the countless details that bring a performance to life. We are also supported by volunteers — young people from various universities who are directly involved in physically building the space. They arestanding on the foundations they’ve helped lay.
This year, despite serious challenges — a difficult national climate and a four-month strike — we still managed to stage seven premieres. It was a season marked by hardship, but also by resilience. And we believe the productions that premiered on our stage were a true success.
