Tea and milk – Edith Alibec – performance and DJ party from Romania

Edith Alibec is no stranger to the stage. Her first play “Tea and Milk”, which premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2023 and in which she also plays the lead role, received 4 stars from The Scotsman and 5 stars from Broadway World UK. Now the Romanian-born actress is coming to Berlin to present her successful plays “Tea and Milk” and “Why the Child in the Polenta is Cooking” for the first time at the Berliner Volksbühne im Grünen Salon.

The actress, writer and producer completed her acting training in Germany. Her first play as a producer and actress, “Warum das Kind in der Polenta kocht”, premiered in Munich in 2016. The play won all the prizes at Romania’s biggest festival Bacău Fest Monodrame in 2018 and was selected for Camden People’s Theatre’s Sprint Festival in 2020. The play has since toured the world and has been staged in three languages: German, English and Romanian. “Tea and Milk” is her first play as a playwright. “Alibec has a great energy as an actor and writer with an engaging and intense stage presence,” wrote The Scotsman, Scotland’s largest daily newspaper, about ‘Tea and Milk’ and Broadway World UK found the play ”incredibly funny […] and entertaining.”

“Tea and Milk”

Edith Alibec’s first play as an author shows a woman’s life coming apart at the seams. After a break-up, a strange job in London and sex with random acquaintances, she returns home for a high school reunion, where she inevitably meets her mother again. With black humor, the play deals with the complicated facets of the mother-daughter relationship and the challenges of starting a new life abroad. After “Warum das Kind in der Polenta kocht” (Why the child cooks in the polenta), which already deals with the difficulties of immigration, Edith Alibec wanted to address the topic of “living abroad” from a contemporary and more personal perspective. In addition to interviews with Romanians living in London and a fictional narrative level, Alibec incorporated personal experiences into the play.
