Description

On April 26, 1986, Reactor No. 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded. The explosion released massive amounts of radioactive material across Europe, causing deaths, severe illnesses, and the mass evacuation of entire areas. Throughout human history, there has always been a duality: our ability to create wonders, while at the same time inflicting immeasurable devastation. Chernobyl stands as one of the most powerful symbols of this contradiction. And yet, within this catastrophe, another side of human nature emerged: the self-sacrifice of the workers, engineers, miners, firefighters, and scientists. Without them, Chernobyl could have turned into an uncontrollable nuclear hell.

It is precisely these people that the two actors bring to life on stage, tracing chronologically the events of one of the worst humanitarian and environmental disasters in human history. After all, this world is saved again and again by the people who continue to fight to save it.
