Lapar

Can human beings justify anything, as long as they stand to benefit from it?

In this dysfunctional play, set somewhere in a not-so-distant, kinda-parallel universe, a clandestine experiment is conducted to increase fertility and birth rates, particularly in the working class. Years later we see one of the more macabre consequences of this intervention. A group of five people grapple with the aftermath of a ghastly event that they’ve all, in one way or another, participated in.

We follow their journey as they come to terms with what humanity is truly capable of. Guilty, not-guilty, avoiding guilt, defiance in the face of guilt, feeling above guilt – in the end, can we really judge them without also confronting ourselves?
