Details:
The new production from award-winning performance-maker Larisa Faber, The Land We Shared, will be performed on Thursday 7 May 2026 at 19:30 at the Grand Théâtre in Luxembourg-Limpertsberg.
According to the organisers, the productions blends documentary theatre, live music, and an unlikely prop – cabbages – to uncover the complex layers of grief and historical memory.
Described as a semi-autobiographical puzzle with a real-life discovery after her grandmother’s burial becomes a gateway into examining unfinished business, attempting to right the wrongs of the past.
Drawing on her Romanian heritage, Faber takes the audience on a multigenerational journey through Romania’s turbulent history. With an exceptional creative team, a touch of surrealism, and a stage full of soil, this theatrical experience turns private mourning into a universal exploration of loss, the weight of history, and the relentless pull of family ties.
Following her acclaimed Stark Bollock Naked and Good Girls, Lëtzebuerger Theaterpräis winner Larisa Faber once again brings her signature wit and sharp insight to the stage. The Land We Shared is an intimate meditation on what we leave behind, revealing how the long shadow of Romania’s communist dictatorship continues to shape lives across generations.
Additional performances will take place on Tuesday 12, Wednesday 13, Sunday 17 and Tuesday 19 May.
An introduction from Janine Goedert will take place 30 minutes before each performance.
Tickets cost €20/€15/€8 for adults (youth price: €8; Kulturpass: free).
