PREMIERE IN OCTOBER 2025

Synopsis

What do my parents do when they’re not with me? is a performance that seeks, in a playful and amusing way, to find answers to that enormous amount of time when families aren’t together. What happens in the parents’ lives that the children never see, what do the children imagine their parents do when they’re not together? What people do they see, what activities do they have? Is there any connection between what the children imagine and what happens in the parents’ lives? Many parents say they go to work, but is that really true? And what is work, after all, and what is it for?

What do my parents do when they’re not with me? is the first show of Hotel Europa dedicated to children and families.
