Can local communities still exist, and truly function, in today’s large cities? Does neighbourhood life still hold any social meaning in the modern world? A shout from the fifth floor, the fifth coffee of the day, the neighbour has just had her fifth child, and her husband came home drunk last night. We share the cleaning of common spaces, we overhear our neighbours’ daily arguments, and in communication, we barely manage more than a polite “hello.” The central character, connecting the stories of individual flats, embodies the desire to be the best neighbour in the building.
This original production, infused with candid humour, explores the nature of community and the dynamics of specific urban environments. How are neighbourly relationships formed today? What brings us together, and what, on the contrary, keeps us apart in everyday life?
The production was developed during a summer residency at Drak Theatre in 2024.
