Game is the story of six best friends – three young men and three young women – all burdened by a collective experience from the past. The generation of the 1980s, now already in line for taking over the social initiative, is lost more than ever and each new step into life reveals new limitations. At the same time, this is a very intimate story, a very actors’ story with characters that seem so familiar as if we have known them for a long time, as if we have breathed, loved and lived with them. The final tour de force opens an entirely new perspective on a situation that is apparently already solved.
Performances and dramatic texts often deal with traumas of the past as something that erupts onto daylight and begins to haunt people who have seemingly set a long time ago to live their normal lives. Game is the story of the moment in which the trauma happens.
