Riassunto

'I know exactly how much I am worth. I am worth one thousand euros because that is how much Babac paid for me. To put this in easy language, that is like two-and-a-half iPhones.'
It felt empty...is a luminous journey exploring the life of Dijana Polancec: professional romantic, eternal optimist and accidental prostitute. It premiered at Arcola Theatre, London, in a production by Clean Break.
Clean Break is a theatre and education company working with women whose lives have been affected by the criminal justice system.

Recensione

Perky and heartbreaking in almost unwatchable equal measure... the sort of performance that, were it happening on a West End stage, would sweep up every award going. --Evening Standard

A play about trust and loss of trust, vulnerability, exploitation and the way in which optimism and romantic aspirations can oil a trap that ruins lives. Dijana sustains this monologue alone for two thirds of the play... It is stunningly accomplished. --British Theatre Guide

Unflinching... theatre that provokes in the best way, without lurid melodrama or sentimentality, but with wit and tenderness... demands that we watch and listen. --The Times

A powerful, genuinely distressing, physically unsettling and yet also inventive theatrical experience that shines a torch beam into the corners most people would rather not look. --Music OMH
