Transport: Cargo ¹⁵⁺

Transport: Cargo sheds light on the burning issue of growing freight road traffic, which has increased by as much as 30 percent in recent years. Between 20 and 50 million trucks drive on the world's roads every day. The performance takes us into the world of global trade, where speed and accessibility promote economic growth, but also bring negative consequences, such as overexploitation of natural resources, environmental pollution and violation of labor rights. The story follows a trucker who is under severe time pressure from his employer, while obstacles along the way only add to his stressful situation. The night brings a chance encounter, and the morning ends with a shocking event that encourages thorough reflection on moral and ethical issues, and above all on our responsibility in an exploitative and exhausting hyper-consumer world. 

Tovor is part of the Creative Europe Transport project, which was created at the initiative of Slovenian director Tino Grabnar and connects six theaters from Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania, the Czech Republic and Poland in the 2024/2025. Genre-diverse performances, underlined by a hyper-realistic miniature visual image and a complex soundscape, bring the audience together in an intimate confrontation with the pressing issues of modern society. 

The performance is part of the Transport project, which is created with the support of the Creative Europe program of the European Union. The content presented in no way reflects the position of the European Commission.
