Maxim Didenko has staged this performance based on the novel of the most mysterious classic of Russian literature Viktor Pelevin.
The performance is made in three parts discussing the existence between the two opposites: reality and illusion, Europe and Asia, the political and the existential, the past and the present.

Characters are moving on from the living into the being, leaving behind the carnival of social and political issues, and then find themselves in metaphysical space, where only self-identification may be used as a means of navigation.

​

Part 1
Garden of the divergent Petkas’

Part 2
Black bagel

Part 3
Conventional River of Absolute Love

​

In the midst of this stillness and sorrow,
In these days of distrust
May be all can be changed – who can tell?
Who can tell what will come
To replace our visions tomorrow
And to Judge our past?

​

“As result we have a psychotherapeutic total metaplay in a kind of a genre “a special flight of a free thought” addressed to all the inhabitants of the Earth. It is interesting.” Maxim Didenko, stage director
