18h - The Feast - UK Parobrod

"The Feast" is a dramatic reading performed by Stefan Aleksić and artist Lea Blau that combines the elements of performance, radio drama and DJ set. It is a melodrama that satirically talks about life in a lie, repression and the desire for freedom. The plot arises when the protagonist, a middle-aged gay man, learns that his longtime partner has succumbed to the pressure of his traditional family and made the decision to marry a woman. With hurt feelings, he decides to interrupt his partner's party and commit a crime of passion. The outcome of the drama brings a questioning of the conditioning and necessity of the main character's actions by society's attitude towards same-sex partnerships, but also towards the truth.
