Nalini Vidoolah Mootoosamy – Lost&Found
This text excerpt proposed by PAV was selected by the ETC Drama Committee in 2024.
Lost&Found is a play on the right to freedom of movement. A right that often becomes a privilege based on “who we are” and “where we come from”. On one side, we follow the story of two tourists (A and B) who, thanks to the privilege of their European passports, can move more freely in non-European countries and visit places they consider to be their “dream places”. On the other hand, we witness the misadventures of X, a migrant without the right documents, to reach and stay in his “dream place”: the European fortress.

Teunkie Van Der Sluijs – Tikkun Olam
This text excerpt was proposed by Young Vic to the ETC Drama Committee in 2024.
Black, Jewish, and chronically online: influencer LEAH, twenty-something, has a large following and is a savvy voice in politics and current events. But she is fiercely guarded about her personal life, which she protects from her social media activities. That becomes complicated when she’s thrown into the centre of a media storm in British politics between advocates and opponents of a proposed Holocaust memorial near London's Houses of Parliament.

Simona Hamer – Everything OK
The text proposed by Slovensko Narodno Gledalisce Nova Gorica / Slovenia was selected by the ETC Drama Committee in 2022
Everything OK, by Slovenian playwright Simona Hamer, explores the topics of (un)employment, (im)migration, discrimination and racism, patriarchy, mental health, ageism, and loneliness through three intertwined storylines. The author explains: “For me, the play Everything OK is an x-ray of all the broken bones of today’s society and an invitation to recovery.”
