In Süssenbach’s contemporary interpretation, the raft serves as a metaphor for a world facing profound challenges, including climate change, war, extremism, migration, and natural disasters. Combining absurdist humor with political resonance, <em>Out at Sea</em> offers audiences a compelling reflection on the uncertainties of our time. The performance is part of the Rehearsal for Truth International Theater Festival, an annual New York showcase of contemporary Central and Eastern European theater honoring the legacy of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A1clav_Havel">Václav Havel</a>.</p>
