Murdja

MURDJA — Love Is a Force of Nature

On stage: Tiina Tauraite and Mattias Nurga (Vanemuine)
Director: Johan Elm

This is not merely a story of passion, but a story of human, catastrophic patterns. Because we cannot fight love.

A middle-aged woman meets a young man in a hotel bar and begins taking him along on her business trips. Their chance encounter quickly develops into a strange, intense love affair that raises new questions all the time, as the world around them is destroyed by the climate crisis. What does a person do when faced with something so much greater than themselves? When it is terrifying, yet irresistible?
