The fifth Sketch performance from the National Theatre of Greece’s Experimental Stage, What to do: Stories for the impending Apocalypse, conceived and created by Michalis Pitidis, premieres on Friday 6 March at the Dipylon Theatre.

Eight people, enraged and frustrated by reality, try to understand how we got here and how we can move forward. The six stories that make up the show weave together elements of reality with mythmaking to create a surreal atmosphere full of humour.

The actors change roles in an attempt to interpret what we are living through. They become opponents in a debate, members of political organisations, a mother and daughter, and an assembly. The situations and the people are on the verge of boiling point, waiting for the Apocalypse or perhaps for change. What is to be done?

What to do: Stories for the impending Apocalypse speaks to the present: to the sense of powerlessness in the face of decisions taken in our name, to widespread anger and exhaustion, but also to the need to take a stance. Every episode gives a different perspective on our experiences – on personal daily predicaments as well as larger collective crises.
