The 3%

A contemporary, poetic yet realistic narrative with a cinematic gaze, engaging with the Europe of tomorrow and bringing audiences into contact with its ordinary people.Set in 2040, in the so-called “Old Neuropa,” four individuals — Xenia, Ingrid, Melina and Aris — move within a landscape of constant control, in a society of limited sovereignty and continuous surveillance.

They walk a path that leads either to annihilation or to the so-called people of the caves.Written in 2016 and considered prophetic for its time, The 3% combines video art, cinematic aesthetics and live stage action, moving between realism and dystopian imagination, while approaching contemporary dead ends with humour and subtle irony.With a playful yet deeply human perspective, with hope and proposition, the play explores what freedom and consciousness mean in a world that seems to have stopped desiring them.The play is inspired by the financial crisis experienced by Greece and is written by Eurodram-awarded playwright Vily Sotiropoulou and produced by Greek theatre company Boufoni Theatre Group.

Performed in Greek with English surtitles.
