Три цвета. Абрикосовый
Мне приснился прекрасный сон. В нём невозможно красивые люди рассказывали свои истории, и каким-то образом все эти истории были обо мне. Потом оказалось, что все мы находимся в зале театра. Спектакль всё не начинался, я огляделся и понял, что актеры находятся в зале, вместе со зрителями, и в ожидании спектакля все присутствующие общаются между собой так, как будто знакомы много лет, столько же лет не виделись и наконец встретились. Голоса звучали одновременно, но это была полифония, каждый голос был слышен в отдельности, и вместе с тем они были созвучны. Потом наступила тишина, и из этой тишины возник спектакль, действие которого чем-то напоминало фильмы известного польского режиссера, имя которого я никак не мог вспомнить. Происходящее на сцене сложно укладывалось в слова, потому что в основном состояло из хрупкой, хрустальной тишины и света, переливающейся, изменчивой цветовой гаммы. Это было очень красиво: насыщенный синий, бледнея, превращался в холодный, почти прозрачный, белый, который, мрачнея, становился тревожным, угрожающим, кроваво красным и после, как солнце, которое в последний момент передумало закатываться и взошло, расцвел, став ослепительно ярким, тёплым – абрикосовым.

Performance
A performance about Xronotope Temporary Association failing to make a performance based on David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest — first because of the pandemic, then — the war. The performance that didn’t happen turns out to be the perfect form for the infinite process of performative realities intertwining.
We gathered with the actors of the National Theatre in Yerevan and watched the series of films by Krzysztof Kieślowski: “Blue”, “White”, “Red”. The narrative brought everyone to their own biography, their personal trauma and frustrations, out of which, in turn, the narrative of the performance was born. The performance is a real drama of life that can be found in infinitely mirroring artistic realities of theatre and cinema.
Michael Craig Martin’s Oak

“To Forget” is a performance celebrating the life and art of Sergei Parajanov. The play and its aesthetic imagery are connected by an existential rhyme to Parajanov’s films, collages, and biography
Constitution of Metarussia”
“The Constitution of Metarossia” is a play about how identity is preserved outside the usual, local logic. How to maintain a clear outline when entering into diffusion with a new cultural environment. How to reinvent yourself by being yourself. How not to lose your appetite, the desire to live and do something during the war of everyone with everyone.
Hell is me
