The end of the world in Greek: Blitz Theatre Group dances a surreal waltz of death over the ruins of Europe, brimming with unsophisticated melancholy and a fine sense of humor. When everything is disintegrating all you can do is wait for the end while passing the time. Why not with music and dance?
An apocalyptic world with three women and three men. Apparently their shabby festive dresses and their memories are all that is left to them. They are recounting fragmentary stories of the past, of a European war that appears as surreal as the colorful festive illumination of the rundown ballroom where the six people are gathered. They call up memories of happier times and indulge in a farewell to Europe that is as breathtaking as it is depressing. And they are dancing. One waltz after the other, as if it were a matter of life and death, interrupted only by enthusiastically performed tricks. What are these people waiting for? What are they looking for?
