EN In her new production, award-winning performance-maker Larisa Faber blends documentary theatre, live music, and an unlikely prop – cabbages – to uncover the complex layers of grief and historical memory. A semi-autobiographical puzzle with a real-life discovery after her grandmother’s burial becomes a gateway into examining unfinished business, attempting to right the wrongs of the past.
Drawing on her Romanian heritage, Faber takes the audience on a multigenerational journey through Romania’s turbulent history. With an exceptional creative team, a touch of surrealism, and a stage full of soil, this theatrical experience turns private mourning into a universal exploration of loss, the weight of history, and the relentless pull of family ties.
Following her acclaimed stark bollock naked and Good Girls, the Lëtzebuerger Theaterpräis winner once again brings her signature wit and sharp insight to the stage. The Land We Shared is an intimate meditation on what we leave behind, revealing how the long shadow of Romania’s communist dictatorship continues to shape lives across generations.
