Gianina Cărbunariu

The Tiger of Our Town

mockumentary

Translated by::

"On 13 December 2011, a tiger escaped from the Sibiu zoo due to the negligence of its zookeeper. The animal wandered around the city for hours while a team of police officers, hunters, and zookeepers surrounded it and shot it with a tranquilizer gun. Then, with a real one.

‘Mockumentary play’, is the subtitle of the play by Gianina Cărbunariu, who, as usual, writes about contemporary European society in the context of a real event that has deteriorated into tabloid news. In her text, she presents different perspectives, as well as their verso."
