Evo Evo

In the faraway land of Southeastern Europe, also known as the Balkans, time is a loose concept measured in coffees and cigarettes, love and arguments are equally loud and expressive, and life is all about socialising and knowing everyone’s business... over coffee and cigarettes. Evo, Evo is impossible to translate. It entails a philosophy, an approach to life. A very casual one... Nearly there! Just about to!

A group of London-based Balkan artists come together to make a show about their culture(s). They’re here to showcase their drama school-trained performing skills and represent their often overlooked or stereotyped cultural identity! That’s what they’ll do! Nearly there. Just about to...

This collage-like devised comedy plays with form and examines the very process of making a theatre show while exploring the themes of identity, migration, assimilation and belonging. Involving the audience in the process, it celebrates cultural differences and similarities, languages, community – and theatre itself.
