Mi történik, amikor egy város, egy ország, egy élet egyik pillanatról a másikra idegenné válik? Amikor a valóság ismert keretei széthullanak, és a jövő egy sötét, ismeretlen szakadékká válik? Egy költő története, aki egy reggel elhagyta az otthonát – és soha nem térhetett vissza. De honnan tudjuk, hogy mikor veszítettük el azt, ami addig a miénk volt? És mit mondhatunk, amikor nincs megfelelő szó arra, ami történik? Egy előadás az emlékezésről, az értelmezésről és arról, hogyan próbáljuk rendezni a világunkat akkor is, amikor az darabokra hullik. / What happens when a city, a country, or a life suddenly becomes unrecognizable?

But how do we recognize the moment we lose what was once ours? And what can we say when there are no words for what is happening? A talk about memory, interpretation, and the ways we try to make sense of a world that is falling apart.
