Synopsis:

Three families from different eras are bound to the same room and the same window. Each time, a messenger dressed in white appears at the window, bringing the news of a man’s death on the battlefield.

An allegorical play written by Matei Vișniec, the performance depicts how endless wars tear apart generations of small families.

A disturbing meditation on the invisible impact of war on those left at home and on the repetition of history.
