We create, design, and imbue our lives with destinies, paradoxes, madness, love, joy, and despair. The world is beautiful, aesthetic, theatrical, very fragile, and seemingly light — all of this is consumed by the comet. Under this cloud, this war‑torn zone, certain other ways of telling our story emerge.
The theater is always interested in the rupture of history, the transition between eras. The performance requires elegance and simplicity. It is necessary and permissible to break the notion of how things should be. Don’t be afraid.
Memories awaken everything. Memory is the «homeland of the soul.» And this homeland of childhood is present not only as the theme of the performance. Everything comes from childhood.
Something happened with this war, and something went wrong. Against the backdrop of war, logic disappears, and certain other laws come into play. A different kind of game is needed. As soon as the audience anticipates your next action, the actor becomes unnecessary. Psychological twists and turns are very important — in actions, in thoughts. This is your duty: the circus of consciousness, upheavals, changes in the soul, mood, impulses. The duty of our profession is to reveal the word, the thought.
