RTFM (Read The F***ing Manual)
In the heart of chaos and conflict, against the backdrop of war, a couple embark on a seemingly ordinary task: assembling an IKEA wardrobe.

Through the act of building – their furniture, life, and relationship – they discover that even in the darkest moments, there's hope.
The audience plays an active role as the supportive community, becoming integral to the couple’s journey. With new spatial sound technology, sound takes on a living presence within the story.

RTFM investigates the juxtaposition of build and loss, offering a powerful exploration of humans' resilience in the face of adversity.
