“Cage with parrots” is a performance in the format of virtual reality, based on the story of a person who will undergo the final test before flying to Mars.

“Of course, it’s more of a movie than a theatre show. But in our new production there are both elements. In the cinema, your eyes are controlled by the director and the cameraman, they decide what you will look at, and in this sense it is a more totalitarian art. In the theater you choose on your own – especially if it is a multi-figure production. Of course, we try to manipulate your attention, but you have some choice. And in the case of “Cage with parrots” it turned out to be a film in which you can choose what you will watch,” Didenko said.

​

The director believes that the use of 360-degree technology in the cinema has great prospects: “It seems to me that this is a window to the future. The future of what cinema will be like and what the theater will be like. You just have to experiment.”
