The history of mankind is the history of the media: from the press, radio and television, through the Internet to social media. Our past and memory are now forever intertwined with them, even identifiable with them. Each of those, however, speaks its own language. Forefathers’ Eve also needs to be enunciated today – and heard – differently.

Forefathers’ Eve, therefore, is theatre and magic in the service of unity and tolerance. It is the voice in the matters of racism and the abolishment of divisions: into black and white, good and evil, the master and his slave.
