On the stage the performers embody the tragedy of the XXI century - the collapse of the connection between times, isolation in apparent overcrowding, isolation from close people. The main idea of the performance is simple and multi-layered at the same time - loving people and relatives must certainly be together. In separation, people experience unbearable torment and despair from hopelessness. On the stage, there is a connection of movements, an interweaving of bodies, where one complex pose flows into another, which is no less intricate. Everything changes, moves like air, but at the same time the characters suffocate from the emptiness of loneliness, which is inexorably pursuing them. In this forced “orphancy”, the instinct of self-preservation is triggered and a dream of a new meeting, a hope for a union of hearts is born.
