30 Dagar Kvar is a new original musical about a young girl with one goal: to put on a concert in just 30 days and use it to spread a message she believes the world needs to hear. Along the way, she brings together a group of young people, each with their own stories, struggles and dreams. Through powerful music and an emotional story, the musical explores injustice, hope, courage and what can happen when young people refuse to stay silent.
