Tmu-na Theater: "The Penguin"

A monodrama performed by Alon Fridman: Viktor, a failed and lonely writer, an insignificant man who lives in a shabby apartment with his only friend, Misha the penguin. He receives an offer that cannot be refused—to write obituaries in the newspaper for living people in exchange for a substantial sum. But very quickly, a surprising problem emerges: every person Viktor writes about is killed. The play won the 2026 Teatronetto Festival.

A bitterly amusing, moving, and strange play about comfortable loneliness, in a reality where the mafia, politicians, the media, art, death, and penguins intermingle.

A free adaptation of the novel Death and the Penguin by Andrey Kurkov.
