Rules (Denmark) by Tove Bornhøft
Rules is a minimalist chamber piece set in a single room, where three individuals work on an increasingly rigid routine governed by an intricate web of spoken and unspoken rules. As one them repeatedly fails to meet the group's expectations, she is subjected to relentless correction and criticism, exposing the fragile balance between conformity and individuality. With subtle tension and dry irony, Rules explores whether systems of order are truly designed to guide and support us—or whether they ultimately serve to exclude those who struggle to fit within them.

Manya (Portugal) by Faebitha Rahiman, Camila Amado Restrepo, Mariia Ivashchenko, Jean Jurado
Manya recalls the night when the Russian forces first attacked Kyiv. One of the initial missiles struck her building, her home. She gradually returns to her work as a foley artist. Manya reflects on the concept of "cool" kids from school who influenced her to try her first cigarette. She will go on to take up smoking. She smoke with her father for the first time while looking at the massive crater left by the Russian missiles in her building. Distracted and unable to focus on her work, Manya questions the audience on where she is supposed to go from here.
