Meet Bogdan - a builder and a hard worker involved in a mysterious construction project. Following a typical migrant path, he’s focused on earning money and imagining the future ahead. So far it’s not looking great. Caught in a work-sleep routine, Bogdan is desperately looking for real love and connection on the dating apps, interrupted by a barrage of bad news from the wider world. He begins to question the aim of his hard work.

Bogdan’s life is juxtaposed with the tragi-comic true story of Otakar Švec - a sculptor behind the largest monument of Stalin in Czechoslovakia. Positioned side by side, two stories of Bogdan & Otakar create a dialogue between two individuals, two societies and two moments in history, which encourage audiences to think about the individual & collective power in shaping the world around us.

The Monument is a one-woman performance with audience participation using drag, spoken word and comedy.
