Functional Something, an amusement park, is a dramatic and dynamic multidisciplinary monologue with a pinch of humour, combining dance, music, audiovisuals, text and interaction with the public. It’s inspired by the experience of the playwrighter and interviewed people, mixed with fiction.
It narrates the odyssey of four characters with an undiagnosed chronic condition and their search for the lost compass. The main character Katanya, accompanied by the stories of three more characters, goes through various moments of euphoria, loneliness, frustration, tenderness and vulnerability. Through experiences with their new realities, environment and the medical world, the public witnesses their achievements and challenges.
