The Sparrow
The show focuses on the main character’s journey through life, starting from childhood until adulthood, where we get to know the life of a girl who lives in an industrial town in post-communist Romania. The four acts (childhood, adolescence, being a young adult, and adulthood) are all connected by the memories that start to come back when the main character, Ema (what an ugly name), goes on a walk on the Danube Cliff, after being away for more than 10 years from her hometown. The show is about the childhood as well as the adolescence of an entire generation that reflects on their own personal struggles in the macro context of the struggles brought by the transition.
