NSTRUCTIONS FOR ABOLISHING CHRISTMAS
ACTA – The Algarve Theater Company
Background: the 2008 financial crisis, Brexit … What if we were given the opportunity to know what happens behind the closed doors of the mirrored skyscraper offices? Michael Mackenzie opens the doors of one of these offices, which can be anywhere in the world, and introduces us to the reckoning meeting. Two characters in crisis. Financial, emotional and psychological crisis that leads them to describe the before and after. Can anyone live a lifetime without being confronted with the consequences of their actions?
