Life in Petaouchnok – a locality that is so remote that it may not even truly exist – acquires a touch of general validity through its normalcy: people recreate themselves through hate, humour, and seeming indifference. And they tell stories that feel familiar to everyone. For ›Once upon a time in Petaouchnok‹, Nada Gambier is working with professional performers and amateurs alike.

A drawing created with the help of artificial intelligence. A group of people can be seen singing together from the front. The people are in a good mood and have a smile on their lips as they sing. The illustration is in darker, earthy pastel tones.

The photo shows a densely overgrown tropical forest. A path can be seen in the center of the picture. Walking along the path is a person whose silhouette can only be seen from behind and who is carrying a large, bulging sack on their back.
