Salzburg Festival production of Europa

Overview

The Salzburg Festival is hosting the production ‘Europa’ by Warsaw’s Nowy Teatr, which marks the first time Polish director Krzysztof Warlikowski has presented a theater production at the festival.

Written by Wajdi Mouawad, the play has prompted extensive trigger warnings due to its graphic and intense subject matter, including depictions of trauma, war, miscarriage, suicide, murder, cannibalism, and sexual violence. The narrative follows a UN official investigating a massacre from 74 years ago to explore themes of guilt and the intergenerational transmission of violence.
