Raw speaks the language of nowaday's young people about Romania's youth in the last hundred years. The show consists of four scenes created following a historical documentation of the creative team on four attempts of last century’s youth, which can also be traced in today's society. Raw is a puzzle of emotions and realities, choreography and visual elements, created around interwar feminism, communist-era censorship in theatre, social revolts of the '89s-90s and contemporary apathy. The production features in its cast the young finalist actors of the Young Hop Actor Gala from the last two years.

Raw is a proposal to read history with irony and humour, with drama and tenderness as a lived book.      

"Raw because we are talking about young people. Raw is fresh, it is tender, it is painful, it is suffocating, it is tough. Perhaps every country has had and has difficult moments in building or consolidating it, but here we have led our research on the history of Romanian youth from 1918 to the present - in the raw. The show aims at building the behavioural patterns of the young people in our country faced with major choices. Raw talks about family, friendship, generations, communism and desires, censorship and revolt, gestures and light, about Shakespeare, about Cola, about courage, and last but not least about hope. Raw is a puzzle of emotions and realities fictionalized through dramaturgy, choreography, and visual elements, a hurtful, amusing show that does not stand still for a moment. A show about what it meant and what it means to be young in centenary Romania. " Raw
