Ageism in six scenes
Performance "Waiting for the Rain" in six scenes directly questions various forms of ageism – from interpersonal to structural and institutional. Through everyday situations in which older people experience discrimination and neglect, the performance reveals how deeply ingrained ideas about the older persons, and subsequently discriminatory institutional practices, affect the lives and dignity of older individuals, pushing them to the margins of society.
This socially engaged performance, featuring citizens of Novi Sad aged 17 to 77, invites the audience to reconsider their attitude towards older people and actively engage in the fight against ageism, emphasizing the importance of social responsibility and equality.
