Performance "Everything¿s Fine Between Us", by the Permanent Theatre Group UAB

The Permanent Theatre Group will kick off this spring’s UAB Stage series with a performance of Everything’s Fine Between Us, by Dorota Masłowska. The group, directed by Ricard Gázquez, will stage this play on May 29 and 30 at 6:30 p.m. at the UAB Theatre. This play is one of the most significant works by the Polish author, known for her powerful voice and the importance she places on language.

In Everything’s Fine Between Us, three generations of women coexist — women who did NOT survive the political and social collapse that shook Poland throughout the 20th century: the grandmother did NOT survive the occupation nor the subsequent destruction under the Nazi German armies; the mother did NOT withstand the hardships of the Soviet-backed communist regime; the daughters do NOT live and CANNOT breathe in a society ruled by the dictates of savage capitalism. And then comes the 21st century, with its successive economic, health, identity, and migration crises... and once again, ultra-conservative nationalisms — and still, they say to each other: "everything’s fine between us."
