- Information
Description
A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST NEW DEBUT Olga Pavic's house has been requisitioned. The council will bulldoze it. Her home will become a monument to a massacre. But Olga cannot ascertain which massacre. Three different architects visit, each with a proposal to construct a different monument, to memorialise a different horror. Olga can't allow them to unearth the secrets held in this space, not until she reunites with her children for a final dinner.
Her aspirational, distant daughter, Hilde, and her secretly queer son, Danilo, both reluctantly agree to fly back to Belgrade. Within an atmosphere of razor-sharp political surreality, Lara Haworth spins a tender, magical story of familial love and loss.
Via a panoply of perspectives Monumenta compellingly and playfully explores remembrance and how tragedy can be the catalyst for remarkable transformation.
