About the show
Lord of the Flies is a powerful performance that brings a classic of world literature into urgent dialogue with today’s society. Performed by the teenage theatre group Acting Up Bucharest, Romania, this adaptation sheds light on pressing issues such as violence, bullying, and the breakdown of social order, making the story deeply relevant for modern audiences.
By examining the fragile boundary between play and reality, the performance reveals how quickly innocence can give way to cruelty when structure and accountability disappear. What begins as a game gradually transforms into something far more dangerous, exposing the darker impulses that lie beneath the surface of human behavior.
