CRIMINAL DIARY - VOLUME 1
a play based on a true story
“Criminal Diary – Volume 1”—a play based on a true story—is a platform for expressing the contemporary challenges and problems facing our society, a unique living mirror of the times in which we live, and a place where the stage will become a chronicle of the present.
“Criminal Diary – Volume 1” — a play based on real events—does not merely present news on stage but transforms them into emotional narratives that move, challenge, and provoke reflection, supporting the idea that art can be simultaneously socially engaged, socially significant, and aesthetically significant.
The project features artists who have demonstrated, over the years, an active civic stance on current issues; they are initiators of social projects with experience in documentary theater.
