Premiere
A political farce in 5 episodes!
Don’t leave the room anymore —
the room is your only familiar pension,
and even this trash will satisfy you,
especially when beyond these walls lies neither Europe nor Asia —
only hopelessness.
While we can’t afford bread and make imaginary soup,
the European family rejects us — and we are doomed?
Young potential will be choked in slavery by a neo-feudal capitalist
and sink into the mud at the airport doors.
Don’t leave the room.
Fight your panic,
and you’ll realize that to have a "geographic tongue"
you must be an idiot.
You’ll become as “functional”
as a 5 AM tutorial
on how to give a paperclip more features.
You’ll understand that wanting to live here
requires idiocy,
when the only escape is self-employment abroad,
when you can’t earn more than 20 lari,
when hunger is real,
when education is a privilege, not a right,
when self-expression is propaganda,
while real propaganda distorts our reality,
when artists die not of “cultural starvation”
but of literal hunger.
So...
Don’t leave the room,
until you start acting!
