“Don’t Leave the Room Anymore” — a political farce in 5 episodes!
Don’t leave the room.
The room is your familiar pension.
Even the trash in it will be enough —
especially when beyond our walls,
there is no Europe, no Asia —
only hopelessness.
While we can no longer buy bread
or make a fake soup,
the “European family” will reject us — and we’ll be doomed.
Young potential will be suffocated by neo-feudal capitalists
who’ll smear the airport gates with mud.
Don’t leave the room.
Fight the panic —
and realize: to live here,
you must be an idiot.
To speak a language shaped by geography.
To become as “functional”
as a 5 a.m. tutorial on how to give a paperclip extra purpose.
To still want to live here,
when the only option is self-employment —
abroad.
When wages can’t exceed 20 lari,
when hunger is real,
when education is a privilege, not a right,
when self-expression is branded propaganda,
and true propaganda falsifies our reality.
Where artists die not from cultural starvation —
but from literal hunger.
So —
don’t leave the room
until you start acting!
