Our scenography expresses the hopelessness and inevitability of our destiny. It is a game where man is like "pawn" on a chessboard.
A half-destroyed space constructed from black wire tells an actor how to behave within it. That way of space constructioning was not coincidental: in 1990 self-titled movie the main part of the act takes place in one room. The scenery changes only when the main characters climb up the stairs. This is why we use these metaphorical elements in our work: stairs, multistage, cube-formed space.
Hope you enjoy our project
Thank you
