Thematically, it explores topics that are close to teenagers, such as the phenomenon of bullying, friendship, love, sex life and femininity. (Andreea Tănase)
Set in Ireland during the 1990s, the show follows Padraic, a ruthless terrorist of the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA), who returns to his hometown to resolve a family situation that requires immediate intervention. Following this trigger, both he and the others involved enter a vicious cycle of revenge that transforms small, otherwise undramatic events into an absurd movement of extreme vigilantism.
"last it is a piece of life, lived real and without restraint, without modesty. Mimi's plays do not spare you, longing. Everything is raw, authentic and true. It is a show about dreaming and about helplessness, about the desire to succeed, to go somewhere more into the light. I chose the text because it is a tough text, because I believe in the truth, even if it revolts us and is difficult to digest. Our characters are captive in a world and in a time that passes in vain. They are as we are, both bad and beautiful, you judge them, but you also pity them. We all dream of a better life, we all dream of being happy and, depending on the situation we find ourselves in, we are willing or not to make compromises.” (Denisa Irina Vlad)
LUX is a performance that addresses the concept of loss in various forms. Loss of innocence, loss of a friendship, loss of a loved one – loss on a symbolic level and loss on a concrete level. Integrating four distinct stories, united by the desire to cause a change for the better in the world, the performance starts from a documentation of everyday events and proposes an original performative exploration of the effects they have on an individual level.
The four characters act according to their own thought system, thus outlining a typology for each of them: the victim who constantly needs others to intervene and save her from her own life; the people pleaser who puts her own needs last, trying to please others first; the addict, a naive person who only feels at ease when protected by the group, and the savior, an outwardly strong personality who has managed to mask her fears by putting herself in a position of control.
