RENTAL: Julie (3RD FLOOR)
Julie says, “I run a charity.”
Jean says, “I’m a leftist.”
Under the facade of performative progressiveness, two people from two different worlds fall into a deceptive love affair. Where morality and lust become murderous weapons, this is a romance warfare reimagined in 2026.
August Strindberg’s Miss Julie is often read as a story of seduction and collapse. This affair between an aristocratic woman and a servant crossing a line for one night isn’t just a scandal, it’s an unflinching look at how class, gender, and survival instincts grind clash. Strindberg believed that Julie’s tragedy was inevitable. That who you are, where you come from, what’s in your blood would always win.
But today we are not so sure anymore.
So this production asks different questions: What does class look like now? Who holds power today? And what invisible rules are still quietly deciding who gets to rise and who doesn’t?
In this version, Julie becomes a modern figure: the daughter of a famous film producer. The nepo baby catches herself between inherited privilege and relentless self-doubt under the influence of her new man, Jean. And Kristine, once silent in the shadows, now steps into the light. Controlled and clear-headed, she is no longer a footnote in this story.
Kristine, Julie, and Jean portray a conversation about identity, survival, and how to define yourself in a world that claims to be open but remains stubbornly stratified.

RENTAL: Mars (3RD FLOOR)
"A Russian-style drama in (mostly) English set in the biting isolation of the High Arctic, MARS follows the final days of the last two humans on Earth. Trapped within a failing research station after an apocalyptic event, a Russian-American glaciologist and a Mexican-American climatologist must navigate the wreckage of their competing histories as they face an inevitable end. While they reflect on people, progress and Pushkin, a series of unexpected confessions and confrontations threatens a chaotic end to the human story. "
