Every production played, season by season.

Based on the play by Sławomir Mrożek — about displacement, identity and the experience of emigration. A minimalist form built on the actors' presence: the whole production rests on two performers. A touring work by Pavel Artemyev.

A documentary performance built on stories uncovered through interviews and meditative memory practices. Three actresses recount recognizable episodes of a shared post-Soviet childhood — unacknowledged poverty, the hard conditions their parents lived in, traumas inherited from the past — against the backdrop of Armenia's crumbling infrastructure. What do we remember of childhood, and how does the past shape the present? Performed June 18, 24 and 29, 2023.
