Should we stay together, or will we take our flags in silence and scatter each in our own way?
“Among Us” is a play about how the split of an individual causes a split in society. Looking at the pettiness and lack of ability to see oneself in another person, the play explores the problem of loneliness in a crowd, caused by a lack of empathy. Instead, people hide under the masks of positions, professions and pseudo-views.
The performance by the adult group of the Brama Theater, is also an admonition to see in the other person someone like us, with the same joys and tragedies, successes and pains of daily existence. If we abandon this, from here it is a short road to exclusion and dehumanization, and even cruelty. “Among Ours” is a manifesto for peace and empathy – values that are clearly losing their meaning in a polarized society, in a world where we experience the tragedy of inconclusiveness: to behead or to stick together a New World of propaganda? In such a world, is there only a choice between lie and lie, or is it possible to trample new paths? Everyone must ask themselves this question, and the answers are still missing….
The play is the result of the workshop work of the adult group, which has been led by Daniel Jacewicz since 2020.
