After the premiere and re-run in Vienna, the performance of Kulturhaus Brotfabrik toured to Kosovo. The international presentation of Dream on at ODA Theatri in Pristina took place on 28th April 2025. 

The performance translated exceptionally well into its new context. The black box stage of ODA Theatre offered an intimate and resonant atmosphere that complemented the production’s minimalist yet emotionally charged aesthetic. The adaptation process was carried out smoothly, thanks to the professional collaboration between Artpolis and the ODA Theatre team, who made the necessary adjustments with great care and clarity, preserving the artistic integrity of the piece throughout.

Representatives from the Austrian and Swiss embassies were in attendance, offering a symbolic diplomatic presence and highlighting the broader cultural and political relevance of the UNMASC! project. Compared to the Viennese audience, spectators in Pristina responded more openly and expressively – sharing emotions, personal stories, and reflections directly with the performers. This openness created a vibrant, honest exchange that enriched the overall experience for everyone involved.

Technical elements such as subtitles were successfully integrated, ensuring accessibility and enabling a shared experience across language barriers. The warm hospitality and generous support from Artpolis played a vital role in the success of the event. This international showing not only reinforced the strength of the performance itself but also deepened cross-border collaboration, paving the way for future partnerships.
