“My name is Sand. I am thirty years old. Sad in English means sad. I’m not sad.”
With this sentence, Sand begins to tell his story.
Sad was born and raised in Iraq. Now he is another immigrant, in Germany. He is now in the place he dreamed of and loved through his readings, but he is alone and afraid.
He would like to be like everyone else. He wishes he could talk to them. To be able to enter the subway. To belong somewhere.
But he is a stranger.
He lives locked in his room.
“This is my chair. Here I sit. I love my chair… Even though it doesn’t belong to me, this chair is my hometown.”
Inside this room, which is his whole world, Sand longs and dreams. He talks about his life and people, struggles to hold on to everything he loves, pokes fun at himself and juggles loneliness and hope with heartbreaking humor and disarming honesty.
Sand is the Other, the different one who is to blame for everything. The one we pass by every day without seeing him, without ever really getting to know him. Sand is among us. Or maybe inside us?
“Vromia” was staged for the first time in Greece in 1997, by the New World Theater directed by Vangelis Theodoropoulos and starring Konstantinos Markoulakis.
Konstantinos Famis presented “Vromia” for the first time in 2016 while touring Greece, while in 2018, he performed in Athens and Thessaloniki.
“… somewhere I heard a phrase in Arabic, but I know that someone thought of it in German. Now I will say this sentence.
For what you cannot speak, it is better to be silent.
Now I know that this sentence is wrong.
What you can’t talk about, you have to talk about!”
